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 Library Journal There is plenty of literature available for expectant mothers but
significantly less for fathers-to-be. While both these titles address the
overlooked father, their different approaches complement each other.
Brott
and Ash give practical advice on everything from where to have the
birth?hospital or home?to how to start a college fund.
How much does
delivery by a midwife cost? What are the nutritional needs of the
mother-to-be? Prenatal communication, sex during pregnancy, crib
furnishings?one would be hard put to find a question about having a baby
that is not dealt with here, all from the expectant father's point of
view.
In addition to practical problems, a man experiences profound,
personal changes when he becomes a father.
Heinowitz's goal is to help
expectant fathers become the kind of engaged, involved fathers that they
wish to be. In the process, he discusses coming to terms with one's own
experience of childhood, accepting one's own feelings and emotions,
dealing with the stress of parenthood, and even fathering through divorce.
Both books will be very useful not only for expectant fathers but also for
men wondering if fatherhood is right for them, and both are highly
recommended for all public libraries and medical libraries serving
obstetricians and their patients.?John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ.
