Alternative Baby Keepsake Book

Having a baby is a beautiful, life-changing event, but it also brings with it more than a few funny, embarrassing, and very, very smelly moments.

From the most cack-handed comment Dad made in the delivery room to Baby’s first poo-tastrophe in public, The Alternative Baby Keepsake Book will help parents document the not-so-magical but frequently hilarious flipsides of pregnancy, birth and life with a newborn.

Inspired by the Mumsnet generation who no longer aspire to parental perfection but instead acknowledge the challenges of child-rearing with humour and honesty, The Alternative Baby Keepsake Book will have you laughing out loud and reflecting on your own weird and wonderful parenting methods.

Not only will you have huge fun filling it in, you can also look forward to sharing it with your beloved sproglets many years from now. For best results, do this in front of a large crowd - just call it payback time for all the mortifying moments you suffered!
