This is a fabulous book not only for fathers but for mothers as well. There are a number of reasons for this. First, there are a number of topics covered in the book which are never mentioned in similar books for women. For example, the book contains information on financial planning, estate planning and the like. Unfortunately, these issues are NEVER mentioned in books geared toward women, even though such issues are of crucial importance to women. I regret to say that I think the reason for this is lingering stereotypes about men being the "planners" or "long term thinkers" for the family. Second, the manner in which controversial issues (e.g., family bed, breastfeeding past 1 year) are presented is evenhanded and unbiased. For example, in What to Expect the First Year, breastfeeding past one year is discussed in wholly negative terms -- "hauling out one's breasts, lack of independence, ear infections etc..." This book's presentation truly incensed me, especially since the authors present the book as being the source for "objective" information. Attachment parenting books sometimes give one the impression that mothers should continue breastfeeding until the child is off to kindergarten. Brott's presentation, on the other hand, is truly evenhanded, and even mentions his partner's decision to breastfeed his younger child for two years. I really appreciated this after all the charged information I read in books geared for women. Finally, the manner in which common topics are presented/discussed is unique and useful. For example, he has sections dealing with a child's temperment and follows through on this theme by discussing how a parent can aid a child's various transitions depending on his or her temperment.
