The Truth about Babies

Babies are endearingly strange creatures. They enter our lives and things are never the same again. Written as a series of musings on every aspect of babies — from baldness, bathing, and breastfeeding, to the womb, weight, and work — The Truth About Babies is playful, profound, and frequently very funny. The author's acute yet tender observations are juxtaposed with those of other thinkers and writers including Vladimir Nabokov, D. H. Lawrence, and Ted Hughes. Also included are words of wisdom from literature, history, pop culture, and folklore. Written by a father of three, this book is the perfect gift for new parents.
