Summary

Learn from a whole community of dads so you're fully prepared to be a great first time dad and partner.

The moment you find out you're going to be a dad is one of incredible joy, shock, and anxiousness - often all the same time! This detailed guide, from the writers and dads at DaddiLife - the worlds leading online platform for fathers - provides the reassurance and practical advice needed for modern day dads. It addresses the real challenges that new dads and dads to be go through, while also providing the answers at every step of the way - through pregnancy and the full first year with your baby.

What you can expect in this new dads guide:

  • How to be one team throughout with your partner: The science of what is happening week by week for mother and baby, as well as the the psychology of what’s happening for dad - and how to go through the experience as one team together throughout this life changing journey.
  • A focus on the real issues dads go through: This book treats dads as equal parents and goes beyond the surface level and into the deeper challenges around post partum, mental health, physical changes, relationships, sex, and much more.
  • Insights from multiple dad perspectives: Key learnings from our in-depth interviews with more than 50 new fathers from multiple backgrounds (e.g. dads who have conceived naturally, gone through IVF with their partners, dads of twins, and more), that also includes their reflections from COVID-19 and what they would do in any future restriction.

This book is a result of five years of research and understanding of what dads experience throughout pregnancy and beyond, and gives dads the confidence and clarity they need so they have a plan at each stage (and it's great for partners too!).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

There's a big journey ahead guys!

This is a great way to pull together a community of dads, so you're fully prepared for the ride! It is great to see something out there for the guys, and a lovely way to learn to be a great first-time dad and supportive partner in the process. I was pleased to ingest the wisdom about fatherhood from those who know, and make it less scary to those who are there for the first time. Great listen and appreciate the network!

Great guide for dads to be

This audiobook is a great guide to fatherhood I'm sure all new or expecting dads will love. It's super comprehensive packed with loads of information and tips from other real-life dads which we especially loved. It's also compassionate and open to all kinds of feelings you might get as a new dad and it's reasurring to know you're not the only one. Great book.

Great book.

This is a huge help as I am dyslexic and struggle to read any more than a few lines.

This book has helped put me at ease about the arrival of our baby.

Loved it!

There are so many things I loved about this book. I loved that it is organized from month to month so that a new dad knows what to expect between the first month to the ninth - goodbye having to explain some basics of how pregnancy works. :-) I loved that there is a chapter to guide them after the first year. And I loved that the language is simple enough to process.

This helped me so much

I panic-bought this book on the day I found out I was going to be a dad. Holy moly. This book is down to Earth and step by step. It really calmed me down and I am definitely going to be revisiting over the trimesters. Thank you daddilife for helping during a time of uncertainty and happiness

Reassuring and relatable

Listening to this whilst my wife is pregnant and it’s been really helpful to find out about a lot of the ways to support her and things for the future. Hearing from dads who’ve gone through it too is great.

Just Brilliant

Being able to support your partner through what is both the most amazing time of your life and one of the scariest can be difficult to juggle, but the information in this book & audiobook provide such an amazing platform for learning and encourages more dialogue with health professionals during appointments and your partner. I feel more informed and more included in a period of time where the father is easily overlooked!

We’ve friends a few weeks ahead of us, and the other dad and I use the book as our catch up point! It’s nice to not feel like any questions are stupid, and the book makes you feel like it’s all reasonable questions or information! Could not recommend it more!
