When you’re a man who is expecting a kid, there are few places to turn to for a meaty, thought-provoking, and useful guide. What to Expect When You’re Expecting? There’s some solid advice there ... if you are the person gestating and ultimately birthing the child. But, traditionally, dads-to-be aren’t the audience for pregnancy books. We wanted to change that. And now, we have: Fatherhood is the ultimate guide for equipping new and expecting Fathers for almost every aspect of parenting. We’re pretty proud of the book and hope it will help prepare men to be dads, help dads become fulfilled fathers and help fathers cut through the confusion to become the best parents they can be for their child.

TIPS AND TRICKS


10 Things You’ll Get from Fatherhood

  • Guidance for building a strong foundation with your partner before your kid arrives, making future parenting choices easier and less confusing.

  • A parenting book that focuses on dad without assuming he’s a hapless dummy. (Is that a first?)

  • Methods for vetting parenting advice so you take only what is most scientifically accurate and pertinent to your family.

  • Acknowledgment that being a parent can be extremely lonely, and fun as hell — in the span of an hour.

  • Tips for navigating relationships with the community you build around your child, from grandparents and teachers, to babysitters and pediatricians.

  • Practical steps for practical skills like dressing, feeding, burping, swaddling, packing a diaper bag and getting your child to stop crying and sleep through the night. Not because you don’t know how, but because you can always do better.

  • The latest research on topics from behavior to discipline from the best child development practitioners and scientists working in the world today.

  • A detailed timeline of the developmental milestones that actually matter over the first year of life.

  • Acknowledgment that, while work/life balance is a game of Jenga you’ll never win, there are strategies for finding balance and an equitable division of labor your partner wont resent you for.

  • Peace of mind from years of award winning journalism, advice and investigation from the editors of Fatherly.com.

TIPS AND TRICKS


3 Great Books That Help Babies Sleep
 

If Animals Kissed Goodnight
Soft, adorable illustrations are the primary reason why this book is so excellent. It also, very subtly, starts lowering the lights in the background as the book gets closer to the end. The book itself is a little long, but, but the refrain about the sloths kissing goodnight is great, and the repetition really works.
 
Shhhh This Book is Sleeping

How about some meta commentary in your good night books? This book encourages your child to actually tuck in the book you’re reading, and it takes the form of a kind of giant, blue face that is getting really sleepy. A pink mouse assists in this process, because of course it does.
 
Goodnight, Gorilla

Chances are, you’ve heard of this one. And maybe you think it’s too minimalist, and because there’s not a sing-songy story, that it doesn’t work as a lullaby. But it does. Make up your own story about what the Gorilla is doing. Just keep it the same every time. It works.

 
Here are a few more books to help kids conk out.
