Re:Ask HN: What parenting books do you recommend for a new dad? by bbcbasic on Saturday August 27, 2016 @04:53AM (#12371615)
In Australia and probably U.S. too at least there is little need for a book at least for the first 2 years.

This is because prenatal classes at hospital prepare you for the first few weeks. Also help from midwives.

Various health checkups are a chance to get more advice. There are various phone lines etc.

I've had 2 kids. First one we read a week by week book for about 2 weeks and that was about it. Second one nothing at all.

Humans have been doing this for thousands of years. A lot more than you think will be instinctive. Good luck and congrats!
