Book Nook: You're Going to Be a Dad!

 Nothing quite prepares you for the reality of parenthood, but You’re Going To Be A Dad, from DaddiLife Books (the writing team of leading platform and community for modern-day dads) is a great starting point for any new dad-to-be. 

Tracking the nine-month pregnancy journey week by week, as well as detailing what to expect in the first twelve months of parenthood, this guide excels through the inclusion of diverse and honest observations by fifty fathers-to-be and new dads, including new learnings post-Covid that have affected dads all over the world.

 

You’re Going To Be A Dad educates and sets straight many of the concerns and fears that new fathers across the globe ponder.  Reinforcing fathers’ needs to be treated as equals when it comes to parenting, this guide is a quantum leap from those more traditional dad books that focus on suggesting putting the beers away. A game-changer in how it addresses its subject matter, it’s about working as a team with mom, whilst also addressing the deeper and pertinent issues impacting fathers.

 

 

You’re Going To Be A Dad is a result of five years understanding modern day dads; their challenges, highs and lows, and in-depth interviews with dads from all across the world so that we can provide the answers to the questions they really want answers to, as well as normalising their anxieties and worries.

In the interviews with over fifty new dads and dads-to-be, specifically for this book, it’s clear that dads go through so much more under the surface than many see (and which many other dad books don’t go cover).

For instance, reflections such as:

“I definitely became wary of people sharing the news on social media without me and my partner having a chance to first – but it was actually really amazing to see the look on my parents’ faces when we told them over Facetime.  It was during COVID, so we couldn’t see them in person just yet, but we screen-recorded the call to keep as a great memory!” – David R – North Carolina, US

Dads can struggle to be truly open with their feelings and what they may be going through. It’s time to be open about that and this book addresses new dads and dads to be in the terms that works for them and shows that there certainly isn’t one size fits all when it comes to fatherhood.

 

DaddiLife Books says:

“This is the first book for new dads that considers all the changes that Covid-19 has created for dads, and what that advice would mean for any long-term implications of Covid.

“Whilst many books talk about the pregnancy journey and first twelve months at a surface level, we’ve  gone deep in each chapter to talk about the science of what’s happening for mum and baby, alongside some of the things that are specific to dads. A feature of our 50 dad interviews is to bring each week to life and what specific things dads will experience as well as provide a check-list of things to do while in each pregnancy week.”
