Stay away from YouTube. There is some stuff you'll need a howto for (swaddling a baby, correctly installing a car seat, cleaning bottles), but YouTube won't help with the important things.
Like others say: be there for your partner. Don't expect an immediate connection with the kid (it took 6+ months for me). Be proactive about helping out.
