Search - The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance

This was my favorite baby present we received when our son was born. My wife read a lot of books, but I just wasn't interested until someone gave me this book. A great read for new or experienced dads! It's funny AND informative!

absolutely hilarious version of "what the heck do I do now that the baby's born"

At Last! A Beginner's Guide to Newborn Baby Technology

You've programmed your VCR, you've reinstalled Microsoft Windows, you can even check your email on your Palm Pilor. But none of this experience will prepare you for the world's biggest technological marvel: a newborn baby.

Through step-by-step instructions and helpful schematic diagrams, The Baby Owner's Manual explores hundreds of frequently asked questions: What's the best way to swaddle a baby? How can I make my newborn sleep through the night? When should I bring the baby to a doctor for servicing? Whatever your concerns, you'll find the answers here - courtesy of celebrated pediatrician Dr. Louis Borgenicht and his son, Joe Borgenicht. Together, they provide plenty of useful advice for anyone who wants to learn the basics of childcare.

This is a great book for any expectant father (especially) to read. My son in law thought it was very funny, and in an odd way helpful:)

A very funny little book, but not an overly serious child care book in my humble opinion. On the bright side, it's also much less frightening than some of the "real" baby care books (got myself very concerned with some of the hypotheticals in the other books of horrors as my husband used to call them). Would make an excellent baby shower basket insert- and does have some helpful safety and emergency info.

any book that explains a baby akin to a clock radio is awesome. nothing is better then tellign my husband, "ooh they have a chapter on programming sleep mode!" it's great to see a baby book that has a good sense of humor. The diagrams are also cute. This would be a really neat shower gift for a good friend.
