Armin Brott
A Dad's Guide to the First Year
The New Father by Armin Brott is one of the most celebrated and practical guides for new dads navigating their baby’s first year. It’s not just a manual, it’s a reassuring, relatable, and often humorous companion for fathers who are suddenly balancing bottles, sleep schedules, and emotional growth (their baby’s and their own).
Unlike many baby books that center motherhood, this book turns the spotlight to the father’s role, acknowledging how fatherhood reshapes your identity, relationships, time, and even your sense of purpose.
Brott, often referred to as “Mr. Dad,” uses clear, month-by-month breakdowns to help new fathers understand what to expect at each developmental stage of their baby, while also addressing what’s going on inside their own heads and hearts.
