Items related to Father's Milk: Nourishment and Wisdom for the First-Time...
Finally a book that speaks directly to fathers instead of about them—two experienced dads (who are also doctors) explore the essence of what it means to be a "good father" today.
New fathers have at least as many questions and worries as new mothers. Will this be the end of my freedom? Will my child replace me in my partner's heart? What if I turn out as rotten a father as my father was? What does it mean to be a "good father?"
Written in a confident and trustworthy voice, Father's Milk provides answers to a myriad of questions that today's new dads ask themselves. And even beyond fathering a baby, the authors continue to answer questions through a child's adolescence. Instead of preaching how to be a good father in 12 steps, the authors demonstrate good fathering through stories and practical advice about everyday situations. The book includes a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the reader's "father quotient," i.e. how well he is prepared for the various stages of fatherhood.
