No one feels ready to be a dad - especially not at 3am with a screaming newborn, zero sleep, and the sudden realisation you're responsible for keeping an actual human alive.

In this brutally honest, funny, and unexpectedly emotional guide, Dan Castelijn pulls back the curtain on what becoming a dad really feels like - the fear, the joy, the chaos, the mistakes, and the tiny moments that change you in ways no antenatal class ever could.

From pregnancy panic and labour-room madness to the trenches of newborn life, sleep deprivation, relationship shifts, and finding your place as Mum's teammate, this book is a lifeline for every dad who's ever thought:

"Am I seriously the only one who has no clue what I'm doing?"

You're not.

Written with heart, humour, and the refreshing honesty new dads are desperate for, this book reminds you of one thing:

You don't become a dad once - you become one every day.

And showing up, even imperfectly, is enough.
