Dude, you're a dad now!

Picking up where
From Dude to Dad left off, author and founder of the popular Diaper Dude parenting brand Chris Pegula dives into the first two years of parenting and furthers his deeply held belief that you don't have to lose yourself when you become a father.

Once again written in Pegula's everyman voice and filled with humorous takes on fatherhood from the front lines, the book is an easy-to-read resource for new dads, combining hard-won lessons learned, pitfalls to avoid, and practical advice from a dude who hasn't lost his identity (or his sanity). 

Filled with useful information, hilarious stories of dad madness, a little psychology and science, and engaging sidebars,
Diaper Dude covers everything from bonding, babyproofing, and when you'll have sex again to toddlerhood, tantrums, and tag-teaming with your partner to cover all the bases while staying (somewhat) sane.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for Chris Pegula's books:

“As a new dad, I needed all the info I could get my hands on. Chris breaks it down in a way that is easy to digest and use in my everyday parenting of my little girl."
--Carter Oosterhouse, celebrity host and DIY/design expert

“What happens when sperm meets egg, and dude becomes dad-to-be> Life as you know it changes forever—and you’re surprised to find, you wouldn’t have it any other way.
From Dude to Dad tells it like it is, and like it will be, with humor, empathy, insight, and practical relatable advice on everything from easing your partner’s queasiness to handling hormones (hers and yours), sex and romance to birth plans and car seats.”
--Heidi Murkoff, What to Expect When You’re Expecting
 
“As a father of three and someone who has dedicated my life to healthy families, there is a moment of awakening (and panic!) that happens from the moment you find out you’re expecting. From practical information to sensitive considerations and humor, this book has it all for new dads!”
--Christopher Gavigan, founder of the Honest Company/Honest.com
 
“If you’re a dude going to be a dad, this book will make you laugh all the way to fatherhood.”
—Adam Cohen, DaDaRocks.com
 
“Whether you’re a guy or a gal expecting a baby, Chris Pegula has your back.”
—Parents.com
 
"I work with thousands of expecting dads every year. I always suggest Chris Pegula's books to enhance the journey and get some laughs along the way. A must read to unlock the secrets of just how crazy becoming a parent is and how to enjoy every minute of it."
--Brian W. Salmon CLC, RT

    5.0 out of 5 stars My husband is keeping this book on the shelf for other dads
    Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates on July 22, 2024
    The first pregnancy book of Diaper Dude was really good! As a the wife, I did appreciate the chapters where Chris Pegula spoke about what women are going through and how they might behave through certain trimesters. It has definitely opened my husbands eyes to it all from his and mine perspective! Even I had a little read! This book is the next chapter and has really good insight on how the birth will change!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, perfect for any first time father
    Reviewed in Australia on February 6, 2021
    The style and approach is perfect, like a friendly no holes barred conversation with a wise man

    Covers many of the primal concerns a new father would have. Love the positive approach and lack of formality

    Doesn’t talk down and is not overly prescriptive, could do without the cross promotion
