About this item
A Dude's Guide to Babies: The New Dad's Playbook is a fun user's manual for every dude who's sweating all the small and big stuff about bringing up his little dude or dudette. With seven children between them (and wives who helped somewhere in there) Richard Jones and Barry Robert Ozer share straight talk, practical advice, and personal experiences (their own and those of other dads) to ease the stress about cleaning, feeding, and playing with your newborn, as well as keeping him or her safe, happy, and not in need of too much therapy. This guide reveals what to do in the delivery room (Houston, We Have Splashdown), how to baby-proof your home without going over-the-top, the inside scoop on poop, questions to ask the doctor for a well-child visit, and it also includes Pop's Quizzes so dudes can test their Dad-fu (think Kung-fu only with more diapers and fewer mystical quests).
About the Author
Barry Robert Ozer is the father of four children. He decided that he would stay home more when he had his last child. Barry's wife and good friend Richard E.D. Jones made raising babies look easy. So, he figured he would be able to do all the things he wanted to do, work, hang out with his biddies, golf and take care of a new baby. Dude! was he wrong. After two days, he was lost, scared and too embarrassed to tell his wife. So, he asked his best friend Richard for help.Richard came over and let Barry in on the big secret: babies are tough and you need 100% focused attention to take care of them. Barry wanted an easy answer, a users manual for babies so he could get up to speed. Richard said: "Dude, there is no guide to babies. But there are some things I have learned that I will teach you."Richard's words stuck with Barry and he convinced Richard that they could write the book about babies that they wish they had. Thus, "A Dude's Guide to Babies" was born.Barry works for an international financial firm and was an award-winning salesperson for IBM. Barry and his family live in Charlotte, NC.
