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 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 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 am a mother of 2 boys and while I have already been through the ringer i could't help but LAUGH OUT LOUD at everything that rang so true! I recommend it not only to new parents but those who have already done it! It's a relief to see someone write what I have thought so many times!

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.

I already have a three year old, and I am expecting another, so I couldn't find a book with something that I didn't already have. I picked this book up because it was comic relief. It isn't particularly insighful or very informative, but I don't think its meant to be. I think she's just trying to give a new mother something to laugh about, which I did. The illustrations are cute, and some of the things in there are laugh out loud funny. I would recommend this if you are tired of all the other baby books and you want to smile for a while.

The perfect gift for a new mom: funny, uplifting, and encouraging! Purchased this book for my daughter-in-law and she loves it!

This is a comical quick read so don't buy it if you think it has lots of helpful tips and hints. A good laugh!

Tears of laughter have flowed down my face many times when reading this book. If you are in need of relief from the pressure of caring for an infant, spend a few minutes reading this, and I believe the laughter will be healing!
