Dr Peter Downey knows babies and kids, and his bestselling book - now in this 25th anniversary edition - helps first-time dads prepare for what's coming their way ... with a grain of salt and a smile on their face. Fully revised and updated, he explores the joys and trials of new parenting, including:
Surviving pregnancy and childbirth
Nappies, breast pumps, sleep deprivation
Living with a baby in your house
The gear you need ... and the gear you don't
Navigating the latest apps, social media and the online parenting world
Lots of stuff about sex
And more importantly, how to be a switched-on dad in the 21st Century
New to this edition is a Foreword by Mark Scott, revised glossary of handy words new dads need to know (and some they don't), as well as updated words of wisdom from other ordinary fathers. So You're Going to Be a Dad remains the most engaging, reassuring and down-to-earth book for new dads around.
