O for a Thousand Nights to Sleep: An Eye-Opening Guide to the Wonder-Filled Months of Baby's First Year

Lorilee Craker. Waterbrook Press, $12.99 (224pp) ISBN 978-1-57856-487-3

Bleary-eyed new moms who appreciate good Christian humor will enjoy Craker's month-by-month guide. Craker takes on physical issues such as breastfeeding (calling herself""the Dairy Queen""), bathing the baby for the first time, getting enough rest, adjusting to""your new body"" and getting Junior to sleep through the night. She also addresses emotional issues such as graciously receiving advice from well-meaning female relatives and resuming a sex life with the man""who got you into this"" in the first place. Funny, practical and biblically based without being heavy-handed, this will make an appealing gift for a new mom's first Mother's Day.
