This will be his first child- and my second. Can anyone recommend some good books I could get him to read? I'm not really sure how to describe what I'm looking for- maybe some books written by fathers- but with more of a realistic view? I don't want a "brag about my perfect family" book. Any books or articles that explain how so many men go through such a "shock" once the baby is born? Ie- mom has 9 months of feeling baby and bonding and falling in love- and usually dads don't get that feeling or whatever until baby is born.
So anyways- if that made sense- any good reading suggestions for a new father?
**just FYI- he's 29 and I'm 36 weeks and have a 7 year old daughter**

Try this book. it is written by a father and son. it is quite funny, but very informative. it was the only parenting book my b/f actually read and found interesting.
