Mike gets to grips with feeding, bathing and all that crying, then straps on a TENS machine to see how a man might fare during labour.

Man-Child follows journalist and new dad Mike Wesley-Smith through the first 90 days of being a parent. He's deep in the trenches with his infant daughter - no schmaltz, no filters - just the ups, downs and gritty reality of life with a newborn.
