About this listen

Being a first-time dad can be scary, but with the right guide, anything is possible. Is your little bundle of joy finally in the world, but you can’t help but freak out about all the responsibility? Are you constantly overwhelmed with the emotions that come with fatherhood that you can’t seem to think straight? Are you sick and tired of not having enough parenting guides out there for fathers and need something catered to what you are looking for? Look no further! Most parenting books out there only seem to be for mothers - but you’ve probably already noticed that. No one is helping the dads through the responsibilities of fatherhood.

Fatherhood can be one of the most beautiful roles you take on in your lifetime, if you play your cards right. Inside, you will find the resources you need to travel down the line with your newborn and create an everlasting bond between father and child. Be patient, take your time, and master the art of fatherhood! In First Time Father: Baby’s First Year, you will discover:

  • The preparation steps you need to take before your baby is born - educate yourself, broaden your knowledge, and learn to do things right from the start.
  • The inspirational role of a father and how early involvement can make or break your child’s development.
  • How to prioritize when you’re raising your newborn baby - uncover the ups and downs and prepare yourself for the challenges
  • The best way to balance your work-life and parent-life - ensure that you are there for your child while still providing for your family
  • Helpful information on a newborn’s development - know all about their emotional, mental, and social advancements in life
  • The true needs of your child - surefire ways to build an everlasting relationship with your toddler filled with trust and love
  • Some of the best advice that new dads need to evolve during fatherhood and give their children the best life they deserve

Being a father of four and now that become grow and starting to leave the nest I wish I had found a book like this to help me navigate the challenges I was clearly unprepared for. Sure we all will figure it out and make mistakes but it's never bad to find some helpful guidance when needed. I'll be sharing this with my boys when they have their first child.

Great advice

As an upcoming first time father, I’m going through a lot of these books atm. I enjoyed this one by Alfie in particular as the anecdotes highlighted were extremely relatable to my personal life. These are the type of things I find comforting right now, so it was a big help to hear someone has been in my shoes before. I found “Advice for new dads” particularly engaging as it has explained particular problems that may arise with the mother after birth; I feel I have decent mental prep for some of these encounters now!

Essential for first time fathers!

This made me feel at ease, so it's nice to know that other people feel the same way I do. I can imagine that the advice that I've taken onboard will help me past the first year and make me a better dad.

What a great little book!

This listen turned out to be fantastic. What a great tool to help fathers and partners/spouses to be as ready as can be for the adventure of parenthood. It is sure to answer many questions that can sometimes not even occur to fathers-to-be, which will surely lead to important conversations within the couple. All in all, I think this listen is a wonderful way to bring partners together and embark on this journey as a team, sharing knowledge and having open discussions about how to best navigate the ups and downs of what is to come.

Expecting fathers, this one's for you

I’m currently trying for a baby with my wife and therefore listening to as much content as possible. I’ve heard a few books on being a new father and this is one of my favourites! It really understands what it’s like from the man’s point of view and I can easily relate to the author’s style. It takes you through the first year in sections, offering countless practical tips and self improvement guidelines. The narrator has passion and makes you want to keep listening. Top marks!

Has made me so much more confident!
