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.

  • 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

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!

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 dad, I loved reading this one by Alfie because the stories seem to fit with my life. 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

We tend to always think about mom when a baby’s on the way, but dad has a very new experience too, once the baby is born. This book provides great information for new fathers from one that experienced it himself. An easy read that gives the steps necessary to conquer the trials of becoming a new dad.
