The Diaper Diaries: The Real Poop on a New Mom's First Year

This book seriously made being a new mother a little easier... easier to deal with and easier to laugh at. It made me realize that in life it's better to laugh than to cry. This book was given to me as a gift after the birth of the baby and I absolutely loved it. My husband and I would stay up (when the baby was breastfeeding) to read this book. I eventually lost it but loved it so much that I ordered 2 more copies- one for myself and another for my sister that just had her own baby. It's so good that I may just go ahead and buy a few more just to have in stock for future pregnancies (friends, family, etc.).

I purchased this book after another mother recommended it. I am a mom of 2 and it made me laugh and shake my head in agreement with every page! A must for every new or future mom!

I was feeling anxious, because I'm pregnant with twins, and wanted something to make me relax and laugh. This was the perfect choice. I am looking forward to reading this again after completing my first year of parenthood. I'm sure I'll find it even funnier, because of all the truths it holds.

I brought this when my son was a few months old. I wish I had found it sooner! It made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes. One of the stories about what Daddies do while "helping out" (holding the baby while I did some cleaning, but following me around saying "is that mommy? what's mommy doing?" the whole time) sounded JUST like my husband. I shared it with him, and he grinned and started doing it on purpose! It also made me laugh at some of the things I do, which is much needed when, as a new mommy, you worried about every little mistake you make!

I bought this book shortly after the birth of my first son. It was hilarious. I let my mom borrow it and she loved it as well. I'm keeping it because it's something I'll read again in the future, and laugh through all over again.
