A special book for new Dads

My dear friend Jennifer and her husband have put together a really sweet book that makes the perfect gift for first time fathers, just in time for Father's Day!

While some men are absolute ‘naturals’ when it comes to tiny babies, there are many, like my husband, who were complete novices when their first little baby arrives. So much of the ‘fuss’ pre and post birth is around the mom (as it should be!) that the poor dads often get totally forgotten about and their introduction to babies is a baptism by fire.

This beautiful little book is a the perfect ‘baby shower’ gift for all new dads and besides the stunning photos it contains, it also has some pretty insightful tips and advice from the author (James, Jennifer’s husband) who is a father of three himself. Newborn bonding, carrying, skin-to-skin contact, diapering, going places, napping, playing, exercising, reading to baby etc is all covered in a lighthearted and informative way.

You can read more about the book here and buy it here.

The peeing bit really caught us unawares when it first happened when OS was born.

Awww lovely book, great resource.

I love the peeing pic, but the disembodied foot is slightly disturbing. Cute, but disturbing.

Thanks for the shout out Tertia! Glad you liked the book!! When I look through Christopher Briscoe's magnificent photographs I get all nostalgic for the baby days. Funny how you forget about the sleep deprivation, spit up marathons, crying jags, and all the rest once your babies are older (mine are 4, 7, and 8--how did that happen?!) Love from southern Oregon to South Africa, Jennifer
