The Perfect Baby Handbook: A Guide for Excessively Motivated Parents

Need a hipster baby shower gift?  Check out The Perfect Baby Handbook: A Guide for Excessively Motivated Parents, by Dale Hrabi.

 

Aspring helicopter parents, this is your guide. It contains:

• A color chart for poop analysis

• Charts to forecast baby's gear storage needs between now and high school graduation

• How-tos for everything, including helping your baby develop a signature stride

It's funny. It's yummy. There are cool charts and illustrations. And it did its job: It put parenting a baby into perspective in an entertaining way. I would definitely slip this book in between the Dr. Ferber and the Dr. Spock to keep your new-mommy friends from thinking they actually have any control at all over that little flesh purse of theirs.

I wouldn't buy it for someone with an older child, as it's really only for babies, and I might go so far as to say really only for first-time parents. It's a quick read, too, which is helpful for new parents.

This is perfect for me. It'll be good to familiarize my self with the contents until baby arrives in a few months time. ^_^
