About this audiobook
The first year of fatherhood will break your sleep, your routine, and your old idea of what your body can run on — and nobody handed you the manual. You are not the assistant in your own household; you are a parent with a real job, which means your health matters as much as anyone else's. This is the practical, no-preachy field guide to surviving the no-sleep year: how to split the night without resentment, how to nap for real value, what to eat when the microwave is your sous-chef, how to protect your back and your patience, and how to tell exhaustion from something clinical. It names the red flags that should send you to a GP, midwife, health visitor, or paediatrician, treats paternal mental health as a serious matter rather than a joke, and never mistakes your tiredness for weakness. You will learn what to say, what to do, and when to ask for help — in a voice that assumes you are competent, because you are. Part of The New Father Library.
