Get your copy of the UK’s #1 bestseller in Parenting (Amazon, 2018) and The Wishing Shelf Book Awards finalist.
The ultimate gift from bump for new dads and expectant fathers. Lean how to tackle everything in the first year of parenting!
Having a baby is one of the most significant, exciting and scary things in a man’s life. It’s great to have the familiar surrounding of a football season to guide you through it, step by step! You’ll be shocked at how much football and fatherhood have in common!
Dad FC’s ground-breaking book is a must-have for new dads and dads-to-be. ‘Debut Dads – The First Season of Fatherhood’ is packed with tricks, tactics and strategies for tackling the first 12 months of being a first time father.
Approved by a child psychologist and developed with a trained midwife:
You get pre-season preparation plans, you learn the Crazy Gang approach to parenting and you get familiar with the baby care set pieces including bottle feeding, nappy changing and sleeping routines.
The perfect gift for dad comes equipped with checklists and tips to help new fathers before they kick off, followed by ultimate guides to the relationship with mum (aka ‘Head Coach’), bonding with babies and injury time woes. This jam-packed baby care book for dads also covers the most popular questions expectant dads chant from the terraces, such as:
— How long will it take before I have a connection with my baby?
— When should I give my baby their first bath?
— Can new fathers get postnatal depression?
— How do I know if my baby has colic?
