Caring For Newborn Babies For Dummies

February 5th, 2008 Posted in Funny Stuff

Now that we have a newborn in the house (our first grandson), I’m finding myself having to brush up a bit on how to properly care for him. Even though we have raised three children, it has been what seems like a lifetime since they were infants.

Caring for a child is a long journey, from changing their diapers, sending them to school, and looking for future security through advantage one, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t look at the lighter side! I found a humorous look at this – what I’d call “how to care for babies for dummies” – represented in the 26 cartoons shown below. I am not sure who created them, but I found them at FunCollector.com. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did and maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two. ;)

    Thanks for a great laugh that I really needed! Now I know why it’s a good thing that I never had children…

    So, I’ve made a mistake or two along the way. But my son is almost 2, and he’s in good spirits. Parents, I defy you to tell me you haven’t done at least one of those “don’ts” before. Or is it really just me?

    Haha, LOL This is great, I am defiantly a fan!

    This was the funniest thing that I have read in a very long time!! I really enjoyed the instruction manual for dummies, and thank God that I didn’t need this for my 5 year old when he was newborn!!! HAHAHAHA!!! I will share this with all of my friends!!!

    This made me laugh! I think we need guidelines like these because I can see some people actually doing the “don’ts”! There are definitely a lot of “dummies” having babies out there!!

    Some of these were really graphic — but, I have to admit made me laugh to myself — I am at the library and I couldn’t laugh out loud. I loved it. thanks for sharing. Love Aunt Jean
