The concept that new Dads need a boot camp like course to handle fatherhood is cute. But for me, it wore thin in just a few chapters.
I handed this off to a new father, who also thought it became tiresome quickly.
Maybe it takes a truly military outlook to get the most out of this book. ( )

it is a great book for new dads. It comes with practical information. Told like you are in the service but good for a laugh and for a lot of good info. ( )

Lots of humor and good advice in this book. It isn't deep or detailed but a good beginning book for new dads. A perfect book for Dads that feel overhwelmed by detailed books that cover every possible problem. ( )

A rather interest approach for soon to be new dads. I didn't find anything new in this book but the narrative was quite comical and informative at the same time. ( )

Commando Dad: New Recruits is a practical guide for those fathers-to-be that do not yet know how uninformed they feel. The book is written with the straight forward and stern voice of a former military man but works as a sort of long distance hand holding for men as they navigate these new and uncertain waters. Sinclair has packed in loads of helpful tips and medical advice and made the formatting extremely appealing to the eye. Graphs and illustrations made this book into an easy reader. Your new recruit will come out on the other side of new parenthood having felt informed without being nagged and will know that what he, the mother and yes, the baby, experienced actually was completely normal.

As a side note: Though this book is written exclusively to heterosexual couples it absolutely applies to ANY new parent combos. Whether you are watching your same sex partner, your only daughter, or a surrogate go through pregnancy, any birthing buddy/partner/coaches can benefit from what Sinclair has compiled here. ( )
