Customer Reviews

Wonderfully silly

I came across this little book in a book store and had to have it. I've ordered several copies to give to pregnant friends since then. Now that I'm expecting my own little one, I look forward to keeping track of all the "inappropriate" things that happen as well as the usual "first word" type items in a regular baby book. As another reviewer said, which stories do you tell more - the sweet "first steps" stories or the "first indigestable thing found in the diaper" type stories.

Gotta have this!

This book is so much fun! I found it by accident when I was looking for a regular baby book and so glad I got it. We have been having a great time filling it in. When all the inevitable gross or embarrassing things happen to us, my husband and I can't help ourselves, laughing hysterically we say there's one for The Inappropriate Baby Book! It helps break the tension of having a newborn and definitely keeps you smiling. Everyone I have shown this to thinks it's fabulous! I would definitely buy this again for another child or as a baby shower gift. The only thing I can say that is remotely bad about it is that it is rather small & short (only a couple of pages) but then again let's face it those thick baby books never get all filled in anyway - who has the time! This is one book that will be treasured and years later when looking back at this book you'll still be laughing!

Laughing my head off

I first saw this in a bookstore, and the title made me curious. I ended up standing in the corner there laughing like an idiot. Then, I bought it for a friend who had a baby last May. It is a great "counterweight" to those cutesie baby books that they probably get from friends and relatives anyway.

Tell your friends!

This baby book is hilarious, I have never seen anything like it! I just wish that more people knew about this one-of-a-kind way to record moments in baby history! I told my friends and collegues about this book and they were so impressed by it, many of them went home and purchased one for themselves, sometimes even if they didnt have a baby! Any person who gets this book will be very pleased with thier purchase. Even if they dont have any babies, the sheer novelty of this book is enough to spark some interesting conversation as a coffee table book!

Amazing times... Unforgettable moments...

As a brand new parents, we were delighted to receive this book as a gift. It is the perfect place to record those unforgettable moments, such as our daughter's very first explosive poop. We were so amazed at how much poop exploded out of that tiny little bottom that we snapped a picture and proudly mounted it in the Innappropriate Baby Book. We've also kept her shriveled-up umbilical cord stump for the envelope in the back of the book. This is a great gift for new parents - it shows them how to not take things quite so seriously during those first few sleepless months.
