What New Parents Need - Humor and Realistic Advice

As a college student/parent many years ago I found this book in the university bookstore and enjoyed it for it's humor and realistic take on parenting methods. We used many of the concepts in the book with great success on our children. Now as grandparents to be we are passing it on to my son and his wife to give them a better perspective and hopefully, give them a better family life.

Hilarious! A great gift for new parents

A wonderful gift for new parents. Hilarious. I have been searching high and low for it. It also helps new parents not be sooooo serious about having the baby and if they react appropriately to the humor will have a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience during those first few months of new parenthood!

Humorous but highly applicable advice on babies

The author addresses all of the issues of raising a baby (teething, feeding, sleeping through the night, toilet training, etc.) from the viewpoint that a baby is an insiduous devil who considers all of the above confrontations as nothing less than all out war. The author responds in kind with advice that is knowledgable (he has 5 kids of his own), practical (none of that mush and drivel that's so common in 'Your fist baby' - type books), and humorous. The author doesn't delve into the saccharin tones of those who say that your baby is a little angel and a precious joy - he's a demanding, completely self-absorbed poop dispenser, whose main goal seems to be drive you insane
