Great info with slight issues

Great source of info for new fathers but the narrators voice can drone on at times. And not in a good way.

Thank God!!!

I’m a first time father to be and literally just happened to see this book sitting on the shelf at a midwife appointment. I didn’t know they had stuff like this for men. I love how straightforward and honestly he addresses potential marriage struggle and emotional strain along with all the excitement… and a lot of very helpful early life psychological stuff I never would have guessed on my own. Excited to be an involved dad. My wife is going to read it next when we book swap and I have to read one of hers on natural birthing… Pray for me lol

it was good

a few things were repeated from his previous book but none the less a great deal of knowledge packed information!

Phik
