Comment:
I am currently expecting a baby... due in early fall. I find this book very pragmatical(obviously written by a guy). I think it is perfectly described by its title, it covers the daily tasks... it tells you how to manage your baby. It will get you through the day but do not purchase it if you are expecting and insightful book on your baby's intellectual and emotional development and ways to stimulate him/her and so on. Great for first timers!

Comment:
This is a perfect book for any new or re-newing parent. It has helped my husband I so much. It kept us from feeling so unfirmilar about our first born. It answered questions that we felt only we must have :-)... We even re-read it when our newest arrived. It is great for both Mom's and Dad's. After reading all the "Here's what to do's and what you should do books" it is nice to reference something that tells you your doing ok and so is your new little person.

Comment:
I'm pregnant with my first child and have lots of child experience, but my husband is worried he's going to "brake" the baby when she comes, this book helped to put his mind at ease and its so funny! Its helpful and does not have any extra information you don't need. I would defiantly recommend this book to those people who have little experience with children or are worried or who like to read electronics equipment instructions.

A Great Guide for Fathers!

Comment:
Like so many other things in life (barber vs. hairdresser, SUV vs. minivan, laptop bag vs. backpack) it's not the material, it's the presentation. This is a book that gives a dad the information he'll want, yet protects the father from having to dig through a cutesy book to find the answers. I hope that made sense; I'm having a bad grammar day.

Comment:
This is a great book, especially when you just need a couple of options. It's not some 200+ page book that talks all about feelings and bonding. You're a parent now - that stuff will come to you. No, this book is most useful in the middle of the night and you can't figure out why your precious little angel/devil won't go back to sleep! It gives you a baseline to start with and if you have gobs of time to read all those long books that only give you one option and drag it out to the tune of $21.95, then buy them. There is never going to be just one book but this is the one I give to all my friends when they have a baby.
