“Brian's compassion, wisdom, sense of humor, and ability to put new parents at ease come through on every page of this book. As an advocate for new and working parents, I'm thrilled to see such a practical, honest guide to make sure new dads are as informed and engaged as possible, every step of the way.”

“This should be at the top of the baby shower list for any soon to be Dad! I love Brian’s Passion for equipping dads in this wild journey called Fatherhood. This book is loaded with useful information for those of us who want to be the best partner for our spouse and absolutely rock it as a Dad!”
--Adam Busby, father of quintuplets and Star of TLC’s Outdaughtered

“Authored by one of the few male birth doulas in the US, this book is a one-of-a-kind resource for expectant dads and birth partners. Inclusive in tone, this gem of a book shares birth and breastfeeding advice that can be useful to ALL expectant parents regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. The relationship and emotional wellness pointers provided throughout give much-needed support and guidance on labor and breastfeeding support, postpartum depression, and much more! The perfect baby shower gift for any dad-to-be, this book is the only resource fathers will need to be fully engaged birth partners and parents.”
--Robbie Davis-Floyd PhD, author of Birth as an American Rite of Passage and Ways of Knowing about Birth: Mothers, Midwives, Medicine, and Birth Activism

“Have now read the book and what can I say? Well number one, wish I could say I wrote this.(This is a very easy and flowing read). Often I have felt Dads were left on the sidelines either because they were passive or felt they were in the way. Of course things have changed and Brian has very succinctly described how partners can be both helpful and a participant in this most important experience in one’s life to bond a healthy lasting relationship for a family and marriage. I think this book is a must for all new parents to be. This should be an included part of every new OB packet. It will be for my patients.”
--Robert E Schorlemer, MD FACOG, clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology

"It should be mandatory that every soon-to-be father has to read this. Brian made the biggest difference with my husband on our fourth child My only regret is that I didn't know him sooner. I didn’t know that the birthing process could be so easy and for the first time ever, I didn't want to choke my husband in the delivery room! Brian changed my caveman in to a caring partner that was so helpful and not annoying at all. Trust me, buy this for every man you know having a child soon, first born or not! It’s a huge game changer"
--Erica Rico, morning show host, KKBQ-FM 93Q Houston
