With my work schedule flipped, most advice for new dads just didn’t apply to my reality. This book, though not written for night shifters specifically, still had flexible ideas I could adapt. It emphasized presence over perfection, which helped lower the pressure. I’ve started planning ways to stay connected during the weird hours, something I hadn’t considered before.

I moved to the U.S. just a few years ago, and becoming a father here felt like learning a whole new system. This guide helped me feel like I wasn’t alone in that adjustment. It was written in an easy, conversational tone that made it accessible, even with English being my second language. It helped me feel included and prepared.

Before reading Dad Rookie, I didn’t realize how many simple newborn care skills I could start practicing before the baby was even here. The step-by-step guidance on things like holding, swaddling, and burping gave me a huge boost of confidence. I liked that it explained why each skill matters for the baby’s comfort and safety. I learned that just getting comfortable with the basics ahead of time makes the early days much less overwhelming. It feels good knowing I won’t be figuring it all out on zero sleep.

Becoming a dad without having had one myself was scary. This book helped fill in those gaps and gave me language for feelings I hadn’t fully processed. It made me feel hopeful about creating something different for my child. For guys with complicated pasts, this book is a soft landing.
