  • Perfect gift: With this book, his anticipation grows even faster than her belly

The book your husband should read before you have children with him


You are seven months pregnant and the father-to-be is not yet in Mexico? Then you are lucky and he has what it takes to be a father. But be warned, both of you - it won't be easy. Because from the first fertilization attempt to the retirement of your children, such fatherhood is associated with efforts.
Deep insights into the (highly fragile) soul life of fathers are now given by someone who should know: Longtime Postillon author and father of three Alexander Bayer tells the funniest stories from his wondrous everyday life with wife and sons, reveals how couples agree on a child-friendly sports car and a fair division of labour when breastfeeding, and reveals where men can cry quietly and unnoticed.

"During the ultrasound examination, we were able to identify all the important organs that had developed so far. The heart was beating rhythmically, and all the arms, legs and noses were in place. I also imagined that I saw cute frizzy curls - like my own - on the sonogram. However, this could also have been my wife's colon. So I preferred not to dig into it." Alexander Bayer
