| Summary |
"This comprehensive guide walks fathers through everything they need to know--practically, emotionally, and philosophically--over the course of the first year of a baby's life. The content is divided by developmental stage: pregnancy up to birth; infancy (the first 500 days); toddlerhood (days 500 to 1,000); by offering data, anecdotes, and expert-driven analysis, the authors prep dads for what's ahead, letting them know they're not alone on their journey. Fatherhood is the book every father and father-to-be needs." -- Description provided by publisher. |
