> Did any of you read a helpful book that approached prenatal nutrition (I cook for us), preparation, early child rearing, etc. from a scientific or "hacker" perspective? Full stop. Drop the "hacker" perspective from this discussion. It has no place here, children are more important than that. If you want to have a scientific approach, pick up some psychology books. I think the best book from raising children is Positive Discipline, Outside of that, the best way to be a dad is to constantly remind your children you love them, give them lots of hugs, and remember to support their interests, not yours.
