My son turns one this week. It’s been an amazing year. Anyone who has been through this whole fatherhood thing would surely agree that it is quite a phenomenal experience.

As a tongue in cheek rough guide to caring for a newborn baby, the above video, Handle With Care, combines factual information with the imagination and personal experiences of director and first-time father, Jun Iwakawa. The resulting visual interpretation plays out in the form of a humorous, often warped, infographic.

Split across nine categories: Bonding, Sleeping, Feeding, Poo/Wee, Bathing, Clothing, Playing, Transporting, and First Aid, this is a whistle stop tour of practical data and tips which leaves the viewer to decide what is fact and what is most certainly not.

As a young dad, I found it amusing. Hopefully you do too!
