Book Reviews of Father's First Steps: 25 Things Every New Dad Should Know

Book Review: Excellent primer for new dads!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great book. Written by brothers who are both doctors, which works for a science oriented guy like me. Don't take that to mean that it is technical in nature, rather, the information is well researched and presented in a way that anyone can understand. This book also fits into my desire to not just be a father, but to be a great father! The text pre-supposes that you want to be a great dad and gives you the information you need to do it. The writers make it clear that research has concluded that your bonding experience with your baby during its early years has far reaching implications throughout your child's life. I love this book and recommend it for any dad who lacks experience with kids (like me) but wants to get it right the first time! (No guarantees on that, but I feel this book gives you a fighting chance.)
