Boot Camp for New Dads is exactly what it sounds like, a practical, hands-on program where "veteran dads showing rookies the ropes, with babies adding a serious dose of reality."

It operates through over 180 locations around the country, primarily through hospitals, health departments, and the military. BCND also has a website with advice on the basics: what to do if your baby's crying nonstop; ways to help a new mother; swaddling technique (aka "the burrito wrap"); and the benefits to an infant's visual development that arise from watching football on a bigscreen TV.

I'm not kidding.
