Safe Baby Handling Tips

whether you are having a new baby or someone you know is, this is THE book to get for first time parents. My parents got this for my husband and I when we found out we were pregnant. We could not stop laughing. We passed it around to friends and had everyone at our party on the floor. I think the wheel of responsibility will come in handy in about 6 more months. Since you can't see inside I will describe my two favorite "dos" and "don'ts". One is a baby in a shopping cart seat strapped in-this is a "do". Then next page shows a baby at the bottom of the cart with groceries stacked on top-this is a "don't". The first page shows a baby being fed a bottle by the mother- a "do". The next page shows baby being fed a giant chicken leg- a "don't". I know this written explanation isn't nearly as funny. The visuals look just like the people on the cover and the book is arranged as though it is REALLY meant to give advice. Let's hope most new parents already know these basics. :-)

My wife and I received this book as a gift shortly after our child was born, and we love it! It provided the laughter that we desperately needed after a week without sleep. Even after the fifth time through, I still laugh out loud at most pages. It's especially fun to share with friends and family when they come over, and now I know not to wake the baby with an air horn. This book is a perfect gift for new parents.

My brother-in-law purchased this book for us when we were expecting our first child. It is hilarious!!!!!!!! My husband loves to show it to everyone that comes over to the house. It's a board book (in alignment with all the books a new parent is about to purchase for their child) with the Wheel of Responsiblity on the cover that is an actual spinner you can use with your spouse. The graphics are absolutely funny and to the point. A great gift for parents-to-be!

This book is hilarious! I can't think of a better gift for someone who is about to have a baby. Sure, you could buy them a Dr. Spock book, a car seat, diapers, or some other equally boring gift, but this ten dollar treat will have them actually remembering who you are! Of course, it also might end your friendship if you are implying in a not-so-subtle manner that you question their parenting skills and believe their baby is in imminent danger. But even if they do never speak to you again, at least you will always be remembered for this wonderful book.
