Jenny McCarthy’s hilarious, no-holds-barred personality has made her an instantly recognizable TV personality and a bestselling author. In Baby Laughs she examines the full range of challenges that new mothers face, including:

• The humiliations of postnatal "numbing spray," Tucks medicated pads, and adult diapers; jelly belly, balding, and gum disease; and becoming a "five-foot puke rag" for the baby
• Heart-stopping terrors, such as baby manicures, breathing checks, and burp failures
• Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a "heavy rotation" of toys, videos, and mobiles
• Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and expecting sex
• Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets— and much more.

Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy.

 "Great Book" 2009-09-30
By M. Odom (Port St Lucie, FL)
This book scared me slightly since I am still pregnant but was extremely entertaining. I am happy that she can tell it like it is so that new mothers will know what to expect.

 "You just gotta love Jenny!" 2009-09-04
By K. Farone
Her series of the 3 "Laughs" are a must have for anyone, even if you aren't pregnant and don't have kids. I'll pick up one of Jenny's book any day!

 "Funny and helpful" 2009-08-16
By PollyWannaBook
My sister just made me an aunt so I wanted to be ready for all the

changes that would happen to both the baby and her.

My sister loved the funny insight from Jenny McCarthy's earlier book

on pregnancy called 'Belly Laughs' that I wanted to know what she had

to say about the part I could actually help with: the baby part.



This book was laugh out loud funny in parts and extremely informative

throughout. I felt like I was chatting with one of my best

girlfriends. If you just had a baby or a baby just came into your

life, spend a couple fun hours with Jenny McCarthy :)

 "Another great read from Jen M!" 2009-06-30
By Heidi Dexter (Sunny Florida)
After reading Belly Laughs, I had to buy this one. It's like what happens once the baby comes home. A lot of pooping, apparently! But it's also about adjusting and doing things for the baby and staying up at all hours of the night--basically the trails and tribulations of a new parent. I liked the book, thought it was funny and would defintely recommend it, along with her other book, Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth.

 "Must-have book for any mom or mom-to-be!" 2009-06-28
By Erin Clark (Boise, ID USA)
I read Jenny's first book, Belly Laughs and LOVED it. This one is even more hilarious! I have given both books to friends as gifts when they found out they were expecting. I haven't talked to one person who didn't love this book as well as all of Jenny's others. She's honest and humorous at the same time!

 "A MUST for pregnant women! Laughter is the best medicine!" 2010-03-09
By Randi (Tyler, TX)
Wow, this was funny. I read it all in one night cuz I couldn't put it down. Jenny McCarthy is so hilarious as she describes what pregnancy was like for her. And while you may not experience everything she did, you can really relate. Very Funny, and uplifting, especially when pregnancy can make you feel crummy, or achy or moody-this will definatley give you some laughs!

 "OK. few laughs, but as expected plain celebrity book..." 2010-03-08
By E. Udo (brooklyn, NY)
I admit I had few laughs and some hilarious ones

BUT

I can't say throughout the entire book reading. Parts were very plain, so boring they wouldn't challenge my brain...not even my slowing brain as a pregnant woman...it mostly lacked consistant talent in writing. Couldn't shake off the feeling it seemed like it was written by a celebrity who's desperate to sell something- a book,

as well as to shift public attention to "their" pregnancy, there were parts I felt celebrity-author grew tired and scratched ideas off the wall...like some overexhausted engine that wanted to prove they're cool & smart. There were too many points where I felt the celebrity-author lacked MATERNAL DEPTH (I'm sure she's evolved since then...) and that's how I came to determine that this book is a waste of money because It's unlikely I would grab it off the shelf for a 2nd reading, to me it felt like buying an O.K gossip magazine where you may be this happy-escapist for the 1st 10 minutes but then you end up throwing to the trash b.c it's ain't one of those books that accrues any value...

 "Not funny, inappropriate, and gross" 2010-02-26
By Julia Hart (District of Columbia)
If you thought this book is going to make you want to be pregnant -- you're wrong!



I read the first few chapters and was surprised that this book received so many good reviews on Amazon. So I gave it another chance... Big mistake. I'm grossed out forever!!! :-) And it's not that I don't have a good sense of humor -- I do, but this is just not what you need when you want to get information about pregnancy. Yes, she does give you some of her experience of being pregnant, but every woman is different and this book might just scare you. I truly believe that when you read a pregnancy guide book, or any pregnancy book for that matter, it doesn't need to scare you or add more fears to the already feared experience. I hoped that Jenny will add some scientific facts, but she really avoids doing all that: "that's what the doctor said. Or something."



Girls, if you're looking for a pregnancy book -- that's not the one. Oh, and please don't ever show it to your husband. Thanks.

 "My favorite pregnancy book I've read!" 2010-02-22
By Stephanie L. Boles (Maine)
I have read several of the highly recommended pregnancy books lately, but I found them all to have the same cut-and-dry (and slightly intimidating) facts and viewpoints. Belly laughs took a look at pregnancy from the layperson side, and actually gave me a lot more usable information than the encyclopedia-type books did. As an early-twenties mom, it gave me the info that I can't just find on google!

 "Don't read if you have Morning Sickness" 2010-02-21
By Ashley M. Green
I was reading Belly Laughs while in the OB waiting room, during my first trimester. I was laughing and enjoying myself until a certain part detailing Jenny's discharge sent me on a mad dash for the bathroom. Point of the story: very funny book, unless you're experiencing morning sickness.

Jenny McCarthy-whose bestselling books Louder Than Words and Mother Warriors told the stories of healing children with autism-teams up with a preeminent autism doctor to write the first book on a remarkably effective treatment.

In 2006, autism became the leading disorder affecting children in the United States. While diagnoses skyrocket and parents struggle to find help, a group of innovative doctors has been pioneering therapies and treatments that are remarkably effective in healing conditions associated with autism. As word spreads about these incredible discoveries- helped in part by Jenny McCarthy's book Louder Than Words- parents are desperate to learn about the biomedical therapies for themselves.

Since early intervention is key to a successful recovery, McCarthy has teamed up with Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, the doctor who successfully treated her son, to write the first book to give parents all the necessary information about biomedical treatment. Beginning with diagnosis, Dr. Kartzinel explains the different therapies that he uses. He shows parents how to make simple changes to their child's environment and diet that can result in marked improvements and are safe and easy to try at home. And finally he explains some of the more advanced therapies that many doctors use today, and the way parents, alongside a qualified medical professional, can determine whether or not such treatments would benefit their child.

For new parents, Dr. Kartzinel provides helpful guidelines on how to best protect their child from developing autism.

 "Biomedical Intervention DOES NOT CURE AUTISM" 2010-02-28
By Summer Francis (Upland, Ca)
Seriously.... I loved Jenny McCarthy's books on Pregnancy and Motherhood, but she should have STOPPED there.

Do you people realized that SHE CAN AFFORD all these treatments MOST people whose kids are on the Spectrum, can't? I know parents who have lost thier homes reading this book thinking thier child would be recovered and cured and while thier child has made progress, they are not cured or recovered, but still in the poor house stressed to the nines.



I am a firm believer in ABA and therapies services. I also think the GFCF is a great idea. I tried it on my daughter who has classic, but high functioning autism, and it didn't work for us.



Some of the supplementing and stuff is just a bit much to me. If you do through research, there is a lot of questionable stuff out there about DAN Dr.s and Biomeds.



All I am saying is do your homework... don't just run out to a DAN dr. and assume they are god and spend hundreds of dollars they charge you for these irrelivant tests, which a high percentage of the time, won't change anything about your ASD kiddo. Try ABA and any other additional therapy for a FEW months FIRST.



The only GOOD thing about this book is it did a decent job of explaining the different biomed procedures and testing, supplements, etc.



I personally don't believe in a lot of the biomed stuff and the route they take. To each his own. ABA therapy and me working with her just in the past 6 months... has made life altering changes for the good and I didn't pop shots and pills into my kid. I tried the medication/supplement free route first and it has worked.

 "Hope in a book for parents of children with autism" 2010-02-18
By Shevi (NJ, USA)
I have an autistic son. When you hear that diagnosis, it comes crashing down on you like a tsunami, threating to wash all hope for your child's future away. But you can't give up hope, and that's what this book is about.



Most of the controversy around this book comes from the medical community saying a certain vaccine couldn't have caused a single child's autism, the diets and other treatments in the book don't really cure autism, and that the evidence of both things is only anecdotal. Maybe they're right. I know my son's autism wasn't caused by a vaccine--it was caused by an citrus allergy--but when I hear a parent say that's what caused their child's autism, I believe them. A parent knows. The medical community wasn't there when it happen, so how could they know better than the parent? And maybe it's only the cause in 5% of cases, but that doesn't mean the parents who experienced it deserve to be treated like they don't know what they're talking about. I can also tell you that when I put my son on a gluten-casein free diet, he answered a question without prompting for the first time in about six months. Is my son cured? No. But I have hope for him, and I don't care how many times the medical community says these things don't work: I refuse to give up hope.



The book goes into this diet and other treatments, and it does it in a friendly, chatty, funny, and easy to absorb format. It's probably not the best book on these treatments on the market, but it is a book parents can read, understand and use. It offers a choice of suggestions without making any promises. Sometimes these treatments work, and sometimes they don't. Every child is different--but every child deserves a chance.



There is hope for children with autism. Maybe only 5% of children will get better because their parents read this book (from my experience, I think it's much more than that), but that's 5% better that the autistic children of parents who didn't even try because doctors told them nothing works. If you find yourself in that situation, read this book. There are other doctors out there, ones like Dr. Kartzinel. You and your child deserve a doctor who will listen to you and offer you hope. Don't give up until you find it.

 "Approach with an open mind" 2010-01-31
By Kim L (Charlottesville, VA United States)
As a new parent who knows several people with children who are on the spectrum, I was eager to read this book to see if there was indeed some way to prevent autism. While I found the authors' personal stories regarding their own children very interesting, there was little in the way of hard-core science to back up the claims in the book with the most controversial being that vaccines may trigger autism in children with weak immune systems. (Indeed, the current studies say there is not a link between autism and vaccines.)



With that said, most of the diet and health advice probably couldn't hurt most children who are on the spectrum. Indeed, the diet advice may even help those who are not on the spectrum, but suffer from multiple allergies.



My biggest problem with this book is the anti-vaccine agenda. While McCartney states that she is not anti-vaccine and feels it is up to the parents to vaccine or not, Dr. Kartzinel is clear that he is anti-vaccine. He does not vaccine children in his practice and only recommends a single vaccine for parents who want to vaccinate their children. I truly wish there had been some space given to the pros of vaccination, but it is not to be found.



Still, there is no doubt that the authors truly are speaking from the heart and their goal is to help children and families who are dealing with autism. I just wish it wasn't so anti-vaccination.

 "awesome book" 2010-01-30
By TK (Illinois)
gave this as a gift to autistic family members parent and got a very favorable review from her. Very helpful info.

 "If your child is not developing as expected... READ THIS BOOK!" 2009-12-05
By Ava Piquett (Indiana)
This book is so informative and is really more broad reaching than just for autistic spectrum children. I think the advice on dietary and supplements and vitamins is also relavant for ADHD as well as other developmental delays. As the caregiver and one who loves your child the most --- DO NOT RELY on DRS -- educate yourself!! You will not regret it! God Bless! God Bless Ms. McCarthy for all she has done and is sharing with the rest of us who do not have limitless funds.

• Inadequacies, such as lullaby illiteracy and the need for a "heavy rotation" of toys, videos, and mobiles
• Daddy antics, such as infant wrestling, home-movie mania, sleeping like a log, and expecting sex
• Dueling grandmas, germ-ridden guests, Olympic-class competitive mommies, anorexic pets— and much more.

Mothers and fathers will find much-needed relief and insight in this sometimes touching, sometimes gritty, but always perceptive and outrageously funny account of what it truly means to have your very own small bundle of joy.

 "Great Book" 2009-09-30
By M. Odom (Port St Lucie, FL)
This book scared me slightly since I am still pregnant but was extremely entertaining. I am happy that she can tell it like it is so that new mothers will know what to expect.

 "You just gotta love Jenny!" 2009-09-04
By K. Farone
Her series of the 3 "Laughs" are a must have for anyone, even if you aren't pregnant and don't have kids. I'll pick up one of Jenny's book any day!

 "Funny and helpful" 2009-08-16
By PollyWannaBook
My sister just made me an aunt so I wanted to be ready for all the

changes that would happen to both the baby and her.

My sister loved the funny insight from Jenny McCarthy's earlier book

on pregnancy called 'Belly Laughs' that I wanted to know what she had

to say about the part I could actually help with: the baby part.



This book was laugh out loud funny in parts and extremely informative

throughout. I felt like I was chatting with one of my best

girlfriends. If you just had a baby or a baby just came into your

life, spend a couple fun hours with Jenny McCarthy :)

 "Another great read from Jen M!" 2009-06-30
By Heidi Dexter (Sunny Florida)
After reading Belly Laughs, I had to buy this one. It's like what happens once the baby comes home. A lot of pooping, apparently! But it's also about adjusting and doing things for the baby and staying up at all hours of the night--basically the trails and tribulations of a new parent. I liked the book, thought it was funny and would defintely recommend it, along with her other book, Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth.

 "Must-have book for any mom or mom-to-be!" 2009-06-28
By Erin Clark (Boise, ID USA)
I read Jenny's first book, Belly Laughs and LOVED it. This one is even more hilarious! I have given both books to friends as gifts when they found out they were expecting. I haven't talked to one person who didn't love this book as well as all of Jenny's others. She's honest and humorous at the same time!
