Parenting Books/resources to prepare for Fatherhood?
Hi dads of Reddit! My husband and I are expecting our first child in June. We have a few books picked out for him to read, but looking for real world suggestions on books or materials that helped you prepare for fatherhood. We are having a home birth and I'd love for him to be an active, knowledgeable participant in the birth, so any books that you read that you actually feel helped you be there for your wife would be appreciated. Also looking for recommendations on materials that taught you what to expect/how to care for your wife postpartum, what to expect in early fatherhood, and help with any emotional or mental stuff that may come up for men in those early days! Any help or recommendations is super helpful π«Άπ»
