Nice that dads are prepping too
My younger brother’s about to be a first-time dad, and it’s actually really cool to see him trying to be prepared, since most of the time it’s only the mom who gets all the info. This book lays it all out for him: what to expect in each trimester, how to handle mood swings and emotional changes, prepping for labor, and even newborn care basics like swaddling and diaper duty. It also talks about supporting mom after birth, which a lot of guys totally miss. This is exactly the kind of guide new dads need.

I love this book
I love babies, and I'm thrilled that this audiobook was created to teach us the proper way to care for our babies. One of the most challenging aspects I find in a baby is that when I hear them crying, I don’t know what they want; it could be food, they might be tired, they could be sick, or they need comfort. Comfort, we don’t know. That’s one of the reasons why I bought this audiobook to improve my baby's feedings. I like the narrator’s voice, and the tips from this audiobook.
