The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-To-Be
Armin A. Brott, Armin A. Brott
Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
Rank: 353
From Publishers Weekly In an expanded and updated version of Brott's 1995 book, the authors once
again present a month-by-month guide to pregnancy for the father-to-be.
Illustrated throughout with humorous cartoons, the book divides each month
of pregnancy into four astute categories: "What She's Going Through"
(physical and emotion changes), "What's Going On with the Baby" (physical
progress), "What You're Going Through" (physical and emotional changes)
and "Staying Involved" (tips on supporting and encouraging the pregnant
partner).
Since most child-rearing books for men focus primarily on the
emotional challenges, it's both refreshing and helpful that these authors
include practical advice: recipes, detailed insights into the Family and
Medical Leave Act of 1993 and realistic appraisals of the often very high
costs of baby furnishings.
Most valuable are the sections on the aspects
of birth that make many men squeamish (episiotomies, epidurals and
cesarean sections) as well as the post-delivery traumas that they tend to
avoid facing (finding childcare, dealing with late-night wake-ups,
dressing young children and sex after pregnancy). This is an essential
book for all expectant fathers. (June)Forecast: Brott, a father of two,
who has been called "the superdad's superdad" by Time magazine, has
written five books on fatherhood and hosts Positive Parenting, a national
radio talk show.
Considering the increasing number of fathers who want to
be actively involved in parenting, this book, with its Father's Day
release, should do at least as well as the original, which was a
bestseller.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
