A Resource About Advice for Fathers-to-Be ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes it is true, a father has considerable influence on the well being of his baby, and having a baby is no longer considered to be the responsibility of the mother alone. The entire lifestyle of the father, including the environment in which he works, his diet, daily habits and even his attitudes all touch the development of his unborn offspring. A new brochure, developed by the Greater New York March of Dimes, and the March of Dimes Birth Defect Foundation, provides a wealth of information about this subject. This informative brochure is entitled; "Men Have Babies Too: A Guide for Fathers-to-Be" and answers many questions commonly asked by expectant fathers. A table showing a selected list of reproductive hazards makes this publication a must for all prospective Dads. Your copy is free and may be obtained by writing to: Fathers-to-Be, Greater New York March of Dimes, 233 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10003.
