Becoming a Dad for the first time is exciting...and completely terrifying. There's no manual handed to you at the hospital. No checklist that tells you what to do when you're running on two hours of sleep and holding a baby who won't stop crying. And yet - you're expected to figure it all out.
That's where The Rookie Dad Playbook comes in.
