Baby Laughs : The Naked Truth about the First Year of Mommyhood by Jenny McCarthy


Baby Laughs will make you laugh and cringe (and maybe... even scare you off kids a bit). I am not a mother and I found it to not only be enjoyable but also informative...!

McCarthy holds NOTHING back and puts the "funny" into situations that might simply drive one insane.

This read is FAST paced and can easily be read within hours.

If you are in need of a good, hearty laugh this book is for you.


Grade: A



Synopsis (From the Publisher)
Jenny McCarthy's hilarious, no-holds-barred personality has made her an instantly recognizable TV personality and a bestselling author. In Baby Laughs she examines the full range of challenges that new mothers face, including:• The humiliations of postnatal "numbing spray," Tucks medicated pads, and adult diapers; jelly belly, balding, and gum disease; and becoming a "five-foot puke rag" for the baby• Heart-stopping terrors, such as baby manicures, breathing checks, and burp failures• Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a "heavy rotation" of toys, videos, and mobiles• Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and expecting sex• Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets- and much more.
Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy
