'With this book, new dads will understand their baby better, and make better decisions for their baby's wellbeing. It will encourage strong, loving and understanding communication between dads and their partners. My only regret is that First-time Father was not in my hands before I became a dad. Paul Prichard Good Beginnings Australia. 'Graeme and Tony give due recognition to this momentous change in men's lives and loves, and provide a plain-talking guide to the steps along the way. I recommend this book to all those men making the shift to fatherhood, their partners and the professionals doing their best to support the family.'
