Description

You want to be confident, capable, and truly connected to your child from day one. But the endless advice from books, family, and the internet is overwhelming, often focused solely on Mom and the baby. What about you?
The First-Time Dad's Manual is your answer. This isn't a clinical medical textbook or a touchy-feely memoir. It’s a practical, from-the-trenches field guide written specifically for you—the man who is ready to step up but isn't quite sure where to start. Consider this your trusted mentor, the experienced friend giving you the real deal on everything you need to know, without the judgment or fluff.

The questions, spoken and unspoken, pile up fast:
•How do I prepare for labor when I don’t even know where the car seat goes?
•How do I support her when I don’t always know what she needs?
•I’m an older new dad, a younger new dad, or never had a proper role model…what do I do?
•What if I’m not ready? What if I mess this up?
If you're tired of clichés and craving something real, this is your next step.
With short, punchy chapters and tools you can actually use, this book meets you where you are overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeful and walks you through the emotional and practical mess of new fatherhood. Inside, you'll find stories from real dads, checklists that make sense, and quiet truths that land when everything else feels loud.
