Full Description
The essential handbook for all things first-year father is now fully updated and revised. Not only will new dads get a month-by-month guide to their baby's development, men reading The New Father will learn how they change, grow, and develop over the first twelve months of fatherhood.
In each chapter, Brott focuses on What's Going On with the Baby; What You're Going Through; What's Going On with Your Partner; You and Your Baby; Family Matters; and more. The latest research, as well as time-honoured wisdom - and humour, thanks to New Yorker cartoons and Brott's light touch - make The New Father indispensible for the modern father who doesn't want to miss a moment of his child's first year.
