Hehehe he actually reads it quite thoroughly. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dads-Guide-Pregnancy-For-Dummies/dp/0470767901" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dads-Guide-Pregnancy-For-Dummies/dp/0470767901</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175868 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:53:13 +0000 Mrs. Blue 175868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Barnes and Noble had quite a few when I was there the other day, from the dumbed down, but somewhat funny My Boys Can Swim to several thicker, more in depth books. I didn't get to look through all of them, but I'll decongest be keeping an eye on this thread for everyone's suggestions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175769 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 07:19:54 +0000 mediagirl 175769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found Be Prepared, A Practical Handbook for New Dad's a good book for my husband. He's not a big reader but we had fun reading through this one together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175768 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 07:18:20 +0000 hilsy85 175768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, we have had trouble finding a good "dad centric" book...all the ones we've looked at seem to dumb things down and are written as if men don't know anything about "feelings" and "maternal instinct". dH has been reading what to expect when you're expecting, as well as a book about birth through the first 2 years by dr sears. there's also plenty of info online! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175178 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:48:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 175178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I third strong fathers strong daughters! But the only book I have that DH has touched (and I have them all!) is an older good housekeeping pregnancy &amp; baby book with tons of photos. Lol. Easy to read, I guess - he is a self-proclaimed book hater. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175154 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:37:50 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 175154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: We have that book too :)</p> <p>Mr. Jacks read Girlfriends Guide because he wanted to see what all the fuss was about. He said it really opened his eyes and he felt better prepared to deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175152 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:35:41 +0000 chopsuey 175152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought DH "Strong FAthers, Strong Daughters" when I found out we were having a girl. Great book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-dads-to-be-1#post-175149 Thu, 31 May 2012 18:34:20 +0000 WALLAROO 175149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just downloaded What to Expect on my Kindle and my DH said he wanted a book too. Any suggestions for good books for Dads to be? </p>
