Everything You Need to Know...Without Being Overwhelmed
I’ve read some other first time dad books and this one is definitely my favorite because it strikes a perfect balance between presenting important information but not being overwhelming. I found some of the shorter books lacking depth while others having too much unnecessary information.This book covers all the need-to-knows about pregnancy, birth, and baby’s first year. I liked the way that each chapter was broken down into four sections: what’s happening to mom/baby, what’s happening to dad, reflections from real-life dads and a weekly checklist. I especially loved the quotes from all the different dads. It made the content come alive for me.This book is insightful and very practical. The information about pregnancy and caring for babies is really accurate and balanced, too. I can appreciate that now that I’m a father!Lastly, I’ll say it was refreshing to find a book that assumes the reader is proactive, supportive, and willing to learn. I feel like sometimes our culture promotes the view that all men are reluctant partners and that’s just not true.I highly recommend this book for all first time dads! I think it’s also a good refresher if it’s a been a while since your last baby.

When I found out I was going to be a dad, I read everything I could get my hands on. Most of it was a waste of my time. They all covered the biology of what was happening, but I learned that stuff in middle school health class. And they all made it seem like I wasn’t an important part of what was happening. You’re Going to be a Dad! Is different in a few ways. First, it makes dads the focus. That’s not to say it ignores mom and baby, but it is definitely for dads. Second, it goes beyond the biology and diet tips (although those are there, too) and actually talks about what feelings come up. Third, it includes a section on the first year of being a parent. If I have a couple of quibbles its that I would have liked more on the first year and a bit less COVID. Hopefully these past two years were unusual and don’t need to be central to a guide for dads. It is easy to read, and the reflections from real dads are fun. Plus, they have a whole DaddiLife ecosystem online because they know that they journey doesn’t stop in the delivery room.

This book has kept me above the learning curve and has saved me from unnecessary worries and stresses of not knowing what’s happening. I’m having my first child and I am so glad that there are resources like this book for first time dads. There’s tons of medical terms and descriptions of what is going on with both mom and the baby. I also found it comforting to see there were excepts from other men and their experiences too. This book is a true tool and I would recommend it 100%

This book is great! It covers what to expect through pregnancy and the first year of parenthood, important pregnancy and baby milestones, changes that mom and dad both go through and how dad can better support himself and his partner during this change. I especially love that it includes lots of little insights from other dads - makes it very relatable and helps ease the fears that come with becoming a father! Would definitely recommend this for all dads to be.

I bought this book for a friend of mine. He's expecting his first child in July. Before wrapping it up I went through the book. Man, I wish I had "You're Going To Be A Dad" when my kids were newborns. The information is clear, super helpful, and the graphics make the book easy to digest. This will likely be one of my go-to gifts for expectant dads from here on out.

DaddiLifes You’re Going To Be A Dad book is insightful, fun and informative whilst yet not being overwhelming. It covers need to know topics and reflections from real dads. This book makes the perfect dads companion along the pregnancy and first year journey. With good to know medical terms and checklists along the way it really is a great go-to book for dads.
