And speaking of books, The Baby Owner's Manual is really all you need. Most of baby books are biased as hell, this is crap free.

The Baby Owner's Manual - I loved this book and found it to be useful as well as entertaining. One thing I found out pretty quickly, however, is that your baby is unique and is not necessarily going to follow some book(s) you read.

Mine loves this one. He loves the silly humor and pictures. It's very informative too.

u/Aaron215 · 3 pointsr/daddit

I would recommend this one. I've given it to a few friends: The Baby Owner's Manual

u/GiantUterineParasite · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

on the topic of parenting books geared towards men, has anyone read this book? It looks like it could be both funny and informative.

u/saphiresgirl · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

For pregnancy and for new baby

Edit: Written very well for men to read. Less earthy/crunchy and my husband says it's very informative.

This came up not to long ago and I will put what I put before
It is very informative and research based but still fun "Caveman's guide to ...." http://www.amazon.com/Cavemans-Pregnancy-Companion-Survival-Expectant/dp/140273526X
A something a lot lighter and just fun to get him into the idea
http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Owners-Manual-Instructions-Trouble-shooting/dp/1931686238
The latter has a lot less hard fact but I know I enjoyed it and it got me prepped to read the bigger, harder stuff.

I got this book Baby Owner's Manual as a semi gag gift when we were having our first. I actually read through this book and found it really helpful overall. I even referred back to it a few times when we weren't sure on some things.

What to expect is great and all, but it's just TOO much stuff. This keeps it straight and to the point. Plus it's funny because it's written like an instruction manual.

They don't COME with instruction manuals. You have to buy it separately.

When I became a first-time dad several year ago, I found The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance EXTREMELY helpful, and humorous, too.

There is also a toddler edition of this book.

After a little while you can get used to it - at one point I could even tell if my runt was tired/hungry/dirty just by the type of cry she emitted. Best of luck!

u/CrossWired · 2 pointsr/Parenting

You'll figure it out fairly quickly. Mine is 6 months and we've got it covered. My few books:

The Baby Owner's Manual

Pacify Me - One of the best chapters in here talks about listening to friends and family, but mostly family and disregard the crazy stuff. You'll get to a point where you learn to listen to your instinct, its going to be right (We reference my wife's instinct as it seems to be better honed in, or so she says)

Relax, don't stress, you'll manage.

u/ucecatcher · 2 pointsr/pics

Congratulations. May I suggest a little light reading.

Congrats to you both! Too bad neither of you are my giftee... The Baby Owner's Manual

u/bookchaser · 1 pointr/books

Baby Owners Manual for to-the-point advice.

Everywhere Babies is a classic the parents will love reading to their baby. It has great rhyming and as the toddler grows, he/she will enjoy looking at the many types of babies in various types of scenes. The book exudes parental love.

u/zombreness · 1 pointr/TrollXChromosomes

Haha funny thing, my best friend bought me a baby owner's manual written in the same fashion as an appliance instruction manual. It was both humorous and helpful.
