Fatherhood

This book is easy to read and has well chosen photographs, quotes, and boxed information. The focus is on the experience of fatherhood, feelings, and emotions. It is assumed that the baby will be breastfed and he gives the best advice on how fathers can simulate breastfeeding without bottle feeding that I have been able to find. The author believes that a man can choose what kind of father he will be. He introduces the concept of "fatherman." In order for men to move back into the family, our culture needs to reconnect masculinity and fatherhood. Young men need to see fatherhood, not paternity, as the fullest experience of manhood. Masculinity has everything to do with fathering.
