About The Book

Every nine seconds a baby is born in the United States, and in the split second that one life begins, countless others are changed forever. Becoming a father is one of the most wonderful, enlightening, crazy, scary, frustrating, and enjoyable experiences a man will ever go through, yet no one tells you what you are really in for until your child arrives. Daddy Smarts: The First Two Years is as close as it gets. In this follow up to Daddy Smarts: A Guide for Rookie Dads, best-selling author and veteran father of three, Bradley Richardson tells you everything you need toknow regarding your baby, your wife, and your life as a dad through the terrible twos-all from an entertaining and informative male perspective. Organized into eight major sections that follow the first 24 months of your child's life, Daddy Smarts: The First Two Years consists of brief chapters, sidebars, and examples from real dads from all walks of life. No subject is off-limits as Richardson advises his brethren on such matters as a baby's many excretions (and how to handle them) and sex (or not) in the post-pregnancy world. Each chapter concludes with a bulleted summary of key points with a suggested action plan and checklist. Eminently usable, conversational, and energetic, Daddy Smarts provides positive and negative scenarios, situations and anecdotes that readers can identify with, learn from, and, ultimately, be inspired by.

This handbook for first-time dads…cuts to the chase of the major milestones, such as the positive pregnancy test, the actual day of birth, and the baby's one-month mark. Fathers without prior exposure to pregnancy, childbirth, or child rearing will find this book very helpful…The 36 sections even have review tips to encapsulate highpoints. Recommended for public libraries.-LJ on DS[[A case for DSII]] Being a new dad, I was looking for a book which would give me tips with my newborn son. Based upon the reviews, "Daddy Smarts" sounded like the perfect book. Unfortunately I was extremely disappointed that the vast majority of the book was dedicated to pre-birth topics such as "naming your baby", "getting ready for labor day", "How is my baby developing in the womb". There are 29 chapters in the book and 24 of them were dedicated to before the baby was born. Ch. 25 is titled "Going Home (from the hospital)". I was expecting a little more of this book to be dedicated to advice for fathers for their first year.-a dad in Des Plaines, IL [[More praise for DaddySmarts]] "Of the four books I bought, this was the most informative for new dads."-a dad in North Canton, Ohio"…my husband loved it! I would never have gotten him to read one of my "baby books" since they reiterate a point several times. I highly recommend it!"-woman in High Point, NC
