The things you can find on the internet are amazing and in the name of our first day back to a regular schedule after a holiday, I thought we could all use a chuckle. These illustrations are quite silly and obviously a joke, but that didn't stop me from laughing (out loud no less) at many of them.
Graham Richardson is the man behind these funny illustrations depicting how to care for your child. They're silly at best and should be common knowledge for any parent (at least we're hoping you don't actually learn anything from them).
But they're a fun way to ease back into your work week after a long weekend when all most of us can contemplate is more bbq or sunshine. Take a look at all 28 illustrations if your day is in need of a pick me up!

I love this book! I usually include it with my baby shower gift & it's always a hit.
It's a small "board book" that's only about $10 at most bookstores.
I will be sharing image #7 with my parents because in the 1970s they took out the middle row of seats in a VW van, strapped down a playpen, and used it as containment for me... while the vehicle was in motion! Hippie carseat!
Be funnier (and more correct) if it was a boob.
So funny! I think they would be cute/funny as coasters for a baby shower.
JudiAU, there is a "nursing baby" illustration (#2) if you go to the link. As for the yes/no on it--I will admit I tried many times to convince my husband to lactate. :)
Ha. Missed that one. My husband was a SAHD for a few years and actual developed what he referred to as his "nursing position" with the boppy and chair.
Oh wow, that was hilarious!!! :)
@JudiAU - I hope you're not implying that bottle feeding is incorrect?
@JudiAU-right on, mama. ;)
@hannah--exactly what she meant. Boobs are for babies. Most would assume that there's NOT expressed breastmilk in that bottle.
I include this book in every "new parent" baby gift basket I give!
@musikmama... that is such an ignorant comment
My youngest son has never drank from a bottle, but did start eating meat when he was five months old and toothless... heh. You know, a parent tries and tries to keep the baby away from giant Renaissance Fair turkey legs.. for naught, my friends. For naught.
My husband gave me this book at our baby shower! It's hilarious, and I passed it on to my sister-in-law at their shower.
honeyhaze, i love it! of course, meat is generally recommended to be one of baby's first table foods, and he was very nearly six months old, so . . . :)
This book is hilarious!
I think people forget to have FUN sometimes - and instead of having all these books telling us what is right and wrong while being all serious - it's awesome to finally see something FUNNY and amusing!
Ha! Number 20 reminded me that my first daughter's favorite teething "toy" was, in fact, my old Converse sneaker. She found it on her own and began chewing, and I remember weighing the fact that it was probably unsanitary with the fact that she was, after several cranky tooth-cutting days, she was happy. And quiet. I let her keep it.
Please let's not debate breast v. bottle here and quit with the narrow-minded digs at those who chose to (or, in my case MUST) bottle feed.
My husband gives this to all his guy friends when there's a baby on the way. It's hilarious.
This is hilarious and is definitely a great gift item. Where can I find in store (NYC) or online? Thanks!
