Conceived both to teach men the best ways to care for their babies and to reflect their masculine approach to childcare, this book is a comprehensive guide on how to manage every aspect of caring for newborns to older toddlers. A further feature is that it illuminates and helps to resolve contentious issues over care that frequently arise between mom and dad.

Childcare is increasingly shared between couples and even performed exclusively by men and it seems only right that men have a practical guide of their own, whose advice is clear-cut, easy to follow, yet allows them to value the qualities that they naturally bring to baby care. And, by seeing other dads demonstrating the care routines, it can help them to better participate in the care and development of their own children.

The book is designed to be user friendly, with dozens of step-by-step and other action photos, and filled with tips and anecdotes from fathers who are anxious to share their hard-won expertise with their peers. As well as all aspects of practical care, it discusses how to create a strong emotional bond, which will be supportive and enjoyable for both dad and child.
