The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Being a New Dad is written to be both highly usable and practical, layered with a bit of encouraging wit in between. First-time dads will learn the daddy essentials for caring for a newborn, from what to expect when baby first arrives, and changing those first diapers without a disaster, to the basics of feeding and burping, and getting baby to sleep (so mom and dad can sleep, too), and how to help mommy as she heals and deals with the enormous changes that she's experiencing both mentally and physically. The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Being a New Dad is the perfect guide for any new dad who needs to be armed with a little essential knowledge and a whole lot of encouragement.
