The Daddy Guide is a dud, August 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Daddy Guide : Real-Life Advice and Tips from over 250 Dads and Other Experts (Paperback)
Although bits and pieces from this guide are helpful, the book generally falls flat as far as advice goes for new dads and moreover seems to cater to an upscale crowd with a huge disposable income and the idea that all men enjoy things such as big cars and watching sports on TV (not all of us do). From encouraging cigar smoking for new dads (yuck!) to relieving your child's colic fit by dumping them off with a babysitter for a few hours (sorry, but I would stay with our baby and comfort him rather than drive off to a restaurant with my wife and worry about whether or not the babysitter is calming him down yet), this text is a not-helpful guide for new dads. The only saving grace of my copy is that it was given to me by a previous new father--now I know why.

It's a great book, very easy to read. I'd recommend it to all fathers to be.
