Dad

Are you about to become a dad for the first time?

This book is your parenting survival guide. Becoming a dad is like being called from the bench to play in the championship game... without any practice. No one explains anything, and suddenly you're facing diapers, bottles, and sleepless nights.

From Backup to Diaper MVP covers every stage of pregnancy and the baby's first year, explained with sports-inspired metaphors. The title reflects the transformation dads experience: from playing a supporting role to being an active, engaged participant in pregnancy, birth, and parenting. It's a practical, funny, and relatable guide to help you step up, enjoy the journey, and feel confident on your parenting team.

• Pregnancy without panic: how to survive ultrasounds, cravings, and mood swings.
• Birth, play by play: what to do (and what not to do) at the hospital.
• Realistic postpartum: how to support your partner when she needs it most and strengthen your bond.
• First months with baby: tips to survive diapers, colic, and endless nights.
• Feeding and development: from bottle to puree, from crawling to first steps.
• Practical advice: what you really need (and what you don't), from diapers to basic gear.
• Daily logistics: how to organize routines, shopping, and visits without losing your mind.
• Emotional management: key strategies to handle your emotions and your family's at every stage.
• Dad humor: because laughing is the best play in the game.

All explained in a friendly, humorous, and easy-to-understand way. It's also a great idea for your partner to read it, so you can both be more engaged and prepared to enjoy every stage together.

When I became a dad for the first time, I felt completely lost. I had read manuals that were too technical and others that seemed written for superheroes, but none of them reflected what I was actually experiencing: doubts, fears, and situations so surreal you can only laugh.

I wrote this book to guide other dads facing the same adventure. If you read it, I want you to feel like a friend is telling you the truth-honest, funny, and without filters-so you know you're not alone in this journey.

• It combines humor and practical advice in one place.
• It's the perfect gift for expecting dads.
• It makes you feel supported and will give you plenty of laughs.
• Reading it together strengthens your relationship and prepares both of you to enjoy parenthood.

Your baby won't come with instructions... but at least you'll have a guide to enjoy the parenting game and every moment with your family.
