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-honored wisdom--and humor, thanks to New Yorker cartoons and
Brott's light touch--make The New Father indispensable for the modern
father who doesn't want to miss a moment of his child's first year.
