Baby Owner’s Manual

Your baby is stuck in cry mode, but you can’t find the power button to reboot, much less the volume control. Sounds like you need to break out the The Baby Owner’s Manual ($11) and do some troubleshooting. Though the terminology throughout this book might make babies sound like electronics, the authors include plenty of very human advice about infant health and safety that no microwave could possibly require. In many ways, the analogies are on the mark. After all, what parent of a newborn could resist a section entitled “Sleeping Malfunctions”? [thanks David!]
