It's time to put down that beer and pick up the diaper bag! This witty guide is aimed at every man who doesn't know the difference between a binkie and a bootie, thinks a rocker is just an old musician with tattoos and long hair, or figures a breast pump is a sex toy. It's a good thing pregnancy lasts nine months, says author Sam Martin, because that's the minimum amount of time it will take to learn the new vocabulary of fatherhood. Martin agrees that being a dad is frequently maddening, sometimes terrifying, often disgusting -- but, he says, it can also be the best job a man can have. Packed with sound advice and dad-tested survival tips, "How to Bring Up Baby," illustrated throughout with color photographs, is a must-have guide for every nervous new father.
