About this listen

Dude, you're a dad now!

Picking up where From Dude to Dad left off, author and founder of the popular Diaper Dude parenting brand Chris Pegula dives into the first two years of parenting and furthers his deeply held belief that you don't have to lose yourself when you become a father.

Once again written in Pegula's everyman voice and filled with humorous takes on fatherhood from the front lines, the book is an easy-to-read resource for new dads, combining hard-won lessons learned, pitfalls to avoid, and practical advice from a dude who hasn't lost his identity (or his sanity).

Filled with useful information, hilarious stories of dad madness, a little psychology and science, and engaging sidebars, Diaper Dude covers everything from bonding, babyproofing, and when you'll have sex again to toddlerhood, tantrums, and tag-teaming with your partner to cover all the bases while staying (somewhat) sane.

Critic reviews

Praise for Chris Pegula's books:

“As a new dad, I needed all the info I could get my hands on. Chris breaks it down in a way that is easy to digest and use in my everyday parenting of my little girl."
--Carter Oosterhouse, celebrity host and DIY/design expert

“What happens when sperm meets egg, and dude becomes dad-to-be> Life as you know it changes forever—and you’re surprised to find, you wouldn’t have it any other way. From Dude to Dad tells it like it is, and like it will be, with humor, empathy, insight, and practical relatable advice on everything from easing your partner’s queasiness to handling hormones (hers and yours), sex and romance to birth plans and car seats.”
--Heidi Murkoff, What to Expect When You’re Expecting

“As a father of three and someone who has dedicated my life to healthy families, there is a moment of awakening (and panic!) that happens from the moment you find out you’re expecting. From practical information to sensitive considerations and humor, this book has it all for new dads!”
--Christopher Gavigan, founder of the Honest Company/Honest.com

“If you’re a dude going to be a dad, this book will make you laugh all the way to fatherhood.”
—Adam Cohen, DaDaRocks.com

“Whether you’re a guy or a gal expecting a baby, Chris Pegula has your back.”
—Parents.com

"I work with thousands of expecting dads every year. I always suggest Chris Pegula's books to enhance the journey and get some laughs along the way. A must read to unlock the secrets of just how crazy becoming a parent is and how to enjoy every minute of it."
--Brian W. Salmon CLC, RT
