Congratulations! The nine-month wait is over, your son or daughter is in your arms ... but what happens now?
Help is at hand in this nifty book that provides quick and quirky advice on everything from nappies to night-time nibbles.
Whether you are a new dad or the seasoned father of a lively horde, make this little book the latest addition to your household.
Introduction
So there it is – your very own little baby. You are a Dad. What a wonderful achievement! Granted, your partner may have made a greater contribution to the whole process, but your input was at least as important as hers – and a lot more fun.
So how are you going to cope with this new presence in your household? No amount of antenatal classes or concentrated reading of childcare manuals can prepare you for the reality of a baby. This little book, however, will give you some useful tips on how to face the challenges ahead.
