Hit the Ground Crawling: Lessons From 150,000 New Fathers

This book is one of the best books out there if you are a new dad. I refered to many sections of the book before our baby was born. It came in very handy for these times. Many of the quotes throughout the chapters helped me to realize that I am not the only one that has been in that position. Easy read and very helpful! The cover picture is great!!

This is the best gift for a new father. Hit the Ground Crawling is full of truth, plenty of laughs and advice concerning the 2 new people in your house--baby and mom. I had no idea what was in store for me with the crying, mood swings, and tantrums...and the baby was challenging as well! I've purchased this for my friends and they all thank me. It's the best new dad book out there.

I heard about this book at a party and bought it for my girlfriends husband (they were expecting their first). Before giving it to him I reviewed the Table of Contents and started reading different chapters. Before I knew it - I had read the entire book. This book is the basics of what everyone should know - but men have been afraid to discuss before. Heck - women won't even talk about most of this. Now when I go to baby showers I buy this for the men and something for the expecting mom. This book is fabulous to read - whether you already have kids, are expecting, or will be a grandpa or uncle. If only a women would write a book now for what women really need to know about pregnancy and are afraid to talk about.

I've gotten a couple of books for new dads from relatives and friends, Hit the Ground Crawling being one of them. The cover really stood out to me because of the picture; I'm having a boy. The other books I've read seemed to concentrate on being funny and made the dad out to be an idiot whereas Hit the Ground Crawling is comprehensive and respectful (yet still easy-to-read and funny). It also went far more indepth with how to deal with and help my wife than any other book, probably the best part. I owe the majority of my confidence to this book; just knowing that most of my concerns are actually very common helped out a lot. I highly recommend Hit the Ground Crawling if you're serious about getting information.

Don't look any further for what you need to know about new fatherhood! This book is like a resource guide to everything you want to know and it's written in "guy-speak", so it's fun and informative at the same time. PS, my wife liked it too!
