Obviously dated now, but some easy-to-scan and helpful tips for this Dad-to-be.

Received this book as a gift from my husband's father & stepmother. Nothing stood out as particulary bad, and quite a bit was very good, practical, and down-to-earth, for both dads and moms. It was published in 2009 -- earlier this year -- and only one thing directly contradicted something I've heard in the last year (recommended carseat placement). I want to double-check that against other sources. Otherwise, definitely recommend to anyone with or planning to have kids.

This book is likely the ideal book for a new father who is not much of a reader but wants to get some knowledge under his belt to help prepare to be a father. It is basically 150 touchpoints in easy to understand, clearly written, straight to the point nuggets of help. I did not find too many 'tricks' in the book but what was given was fairly consistent with what I have found in other books and in classes. It is written from a pediatrician, so you can have confidence in much of what is given.
