This audiobook about becoming a dad, is just so great and I’m so glad I got it! It's such a relief to hear someone talk about the rush of emotions and doubts that come right after your baby arrives. This guide is like a buddy who’s been through it all, offering spot-on advice for new dads. From understanding what your little one needs to learning how to bond, every tip is super helpful. I appreciated the focus on self-care—not something you hear often enough for dads! I can't recommend enough.
