Fatherhood: A Comprehensive Guide to Birth, Budgeting, Finding Flow, and Becoming a Happy Parent
Becoming a parent can be daunting . . . terrifying, in fact.

This is especially true for dads. Where’s the road map? Well, you’re looking at it. This book from the editors of Fatherly, the largest digital brand for dads, is a one-stop source for fathers-to-be, empowering them to be the best parent they can be—with both confidence and joy.

New fathers grapple with both practical and existential questions: Is my baby supposed to do that? How do I afford to make my family thrive? How does swaddling work again? Who am I, and what kind of dad will I become?

Fatherhood is here to answer all of these questions and more.

This comprehensive guide walks fathers through everything they need to know—practically, emotionally, and philosophically—over the course of the first year of a baby’s life.

The content is divided by developmental stage:

  • Pregnancy up to birth
  • Infancy (the first 500 days)
  • Toddlerhood (days 500 to 1,000)

By offering data, anecdotes, and expert-driven analysis, the authors prep dads for what’s ahead, letting them know they’re not alone on their journey.

Fatherhood is the book every father and father-to-be needs.
