Product description

Synopsis
This clever instruction book treats a baby like an item of technological hardware, with detailed yet simple advice about practically everything involved in the first year. Unlike many technical manuals, this one is extremely user-friendly in design. A clear but comprehensive table of contents features chapters like "Feeding: Understanding the Baby's Power Supply," "Programming Sleep Mode," and "General Maintenance." These are broken down into subchapters like "Understanding and Installing Diapers," which are also subdivided. It's very easy to find exactly what's needed at a glance. The manual also catalogs and deals with a broad range of illnesses and mishaps. Amusing diagrams and drawings accompany the text.

Bought it for a friend

Created: 31/03/10
I never grew up around babies, because no one in my family has had children for the past six years. So when both of my sisters, and my best friend had their children I was clueless. I new how to hold an infant, change a diaper, and somewhat care for them but that was about it.

My mom bought The Baby Owner's Manual for me more as a joke that actual reading material, but it explains everything, even the most seemingly simple task, in a easy to follow instructions complete with diagrams. The book covers pretty much everything you need to know about caring for an infant in an easy to read manual. In all honestly, it greatly helped me in the beginning and now I am more confident when keeping my niece, nephew, and godson.

One of my really good friends is pregnant and like me didn't have a really solid foundation on infant care. I bought this for her and giving it to her in her baby shower present.

Great book for the new parent that loves to follow the manual when doing everything. Diagrams and wording make it sound like you are setting up your surrond sound system. This is a great baby shower gift that will bring laughs and some good information.

I love this book. Someone purchased a copy for me as a baby gift several years ago and I have in turn purchased a copy for someone else. It makes a great gift. It is a fun read but so much more. The tips in the book are very smart and so simple. Consider giving this book to any first time parent.
