“Read a book? Who has time? But you’d be wise to find some so you can take advantage of a fabulous resource . . . The New Father.” Sesame Street Parents
“This book would make a great gift for any new dad.”Lawrence Kutner, Ph.D., columnist, Parents magazine
Brott ("Ask Mr. Dad" column) updates The New Father, now in its third edition, with a month-by-month look at baby development, supplemented with sections on what's going on with your partner and what you're going through as a father. Every topic relevant to infancy is addressed, including colic, breastfeeding, sleep, developmental milestones, and vaccines.The Expectant Father, coauthored with Ash (Tropical Style), is similarly arranged, with additional breakdowns of what's happening with the baby and staying involved. New in this fourth edition is expanded information on adoptive fathers, multiples, overcoming infertility, the ART (assistive reproductive technology) of fatherhood, and GI dads. The third edition is less than five years old, making this update optional. VERDICT These phone book-sized volumes are among the most comprehensive (changing a diaper takes ten steps and covers two pages) father-to-be books. Brott's pleasing style steers clear of the caveman humor usually associated with "from dude to dad" texts.
