In this alternative guide to approaching parenthood, a father urges fellow Dads not to panic and find joy in the unexpected and unknown.

Music journalist Chris Kornelis had no patience for the bombardment of baby advice and opinions littering his social media feed. He didn't know the first thing about pregnancy when his wife gave him the good news, but he knew that the birth of a child should be a joyous occasion, not a minefield of stress and shame. Rocking Fatherhood provides a week-by-week guide to pregnancy for twenty-first century fathers. Chris encourages you to make decisions based on what you think is best for your family, not to conform to someone else's definition of ideal. Soliciting wisdom from doctors, scientists, songwriters, and the real rock stars–moms–his entertaining insights include:

-You don't need a birthing course
-Babies can't change everything
-Pregnancy sex can be great sex.
-Bottle or breast: you decide what's best

Full of humorous anecdotes and a wealth of knowledge, Rocking Fatherhood is a must-read for expectant Dads, whether they’re on their first, second, or third child.
