1: Excellent stuff
This is a good resource for the guys. Not so technical like the Mayo or What to expect....., but it takes you through some of the fun aspects of pregnancy. Also talks about how you can do things (birth, baby furniture/clothes purchase, cord blood banking, etc etc) differently. I would say that this book contributed a bit to the confidence I had in handling things during my wife's pregnancy.

2: Great book for fathers-to-be
I ordered this book to get a good idea of what to expect during my wife's pregnancy. It's informative and easy to read.

3: Most Practical
Looking back at the 40 pregnancy and infant books we have, this is the one that I finished reading first.
This book offers the most practical advice in the entire spectrum of topics related to having a child, and what a father can do.
I have added more items to my ToDo list from this book, than from any other book. Although I read this book two years ago, I took the same ToDo list from my first child and copied it for my second. I just realized now, two years later, that this book was a key for me to be a successful father. Armin Brott helped me become a better father by adding more support to my gut feeling that I should try to be the best father I can be, and then gave me more ideas and ways to accomplish that.
If you are reading, Thanks Armin.

4: Worth the read
I read a lot of baby books in preparation for new baby - mostly from the library - and I can say that this is one of the books that I did end up buying to use as reference. It is well written and contains a lot of information in one place. Also nice to get a father's perspective.
|
5: Not Worth Your Time
The book is simplistic and preachy. More often than not, you're reading three pages about something that can be clearly stated in a paragraph. Equally often, that material seems misplaced (waiting until the sixth month to speculate about gender???) and thrown in there to thicken the book. I believe, with common-sense editing, this book could be less than fifty pages without sacrificing any content. The few things that I did learn I could have learned from several other books, along with a great deal more.
