A Dad's Guide To Babycare By Colin Cooper
A really great book, just for dads. We thoroughly recommend it!
Dads often feel left out when a new baby arrives. But more than ever before, dads want to be involved in the care of their children. This book will help them. Instead of just one chapter devoted to how fathers feel, the whole book is written from the point of view of men.
The author, Colin Cooper, is a medical writer and editor, and father of two. The book includes his own experiences as well as those of many other dads. It tackles everything from the emotions of becoming a father to keeping your toddler safe.
The book is well laid out, honest and easy to read. It gives clear step by step advice on the basics, how to hold a new baby, how to bath them, change their nappy and feed them. The author is also not afraid to look at some of the deeper issues that becoming a father raises, such as relationships with partners, sex, male depression, changing priorities, as well as practical concerns including pressure on the family finances.
This is a book that doesn’t try to gloss over the tough times that dads may face in the early months with a new baby. There are no rose tinted spectacles on offer here. Rather, the author looks at practical solutions to problems, offers tips that worked for dads in real life, and suggests ways to cope with any issues that arise. All the advice is offered in a friendly, practical way, accompanied by beautiful colour photographs.
This book is a must for new dads everywhere!
