Title: The New Dad's Survival Guide Pdf Man-to-Man Advice for First-Time Fathers
Author: Scott Mactavish

Mactavish presents a useful-though by no means comprehensive-guide for any dad-to-be who doesn't care about details and just wants to learn what's going to happen when his partner gives birth and how he should go about changing a diaper. The author is no doctor; he's "just a dude who's been through it twice," and his lingo-"BCF" means "be cool, fool" (borrowed from Mr. T.); "FPP" is your "female parenting partner"; an "NFU" is a "new family unit"-is appropriately casual. The book covers the most basic of parenting skills from birth through three months, with a few toddler tips thrown in. It's humorous (or insensitive, depending on one's point of view) in its approach. For example, on postpartum depression, Mactavish warns "PPD is a beaucoup serious condition that can have a devastating effect on the FPP." Although most of the book's advice seems quite obvious, tips on assisting a partner in labor ("offer backrubs on a consistent basis"), helping a baby pass gas (or "dislodge an air biscuit") and preventing diaper rash ("keep the butt dry after bathing") will be of use to any new father.

Great Read, Funny, Enjoyable My husband and I are reading this book now. It definitely has some great topics for conversation and good tips during pregnancy, labor, and after. I like that it is very humorous but still informative. We even started using the lingo in our daily conversations!! BCF!The only downside is that because the book was written a while ago it is a little outdated with some of its references. Like a boom box. But you can pretty much figure out what modern item to replace that with :)Funny & Spot On goid quick simple read. I've read two of my wife's baby books, and we just finished our baby birthing class. This books condenses a all those in a pretty funny but accurate summary of the month's leading to and after that little New Family Unit pops out. Must read for all dads (warning: great man's man book. If you want something wanky, overly scientific, technical, or academic - go elsewhere, but still read this too. If you want a good simple guy's guide told in a funny tone - ENJOY!)Helpful Bought as a gift for a new DAD, he loved it.
