PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES GET ADVICE

ON POSING WITH BABIES

FROM “BOOT CAMP FOR NEW DADS”

DATELINE: ISSUED TO THE PRESS ON FEBRUARY 7, 2000…

From Al Gore to George W. Bush and all the presidential hopefuls can agree on one thing. Posing with babies is a lot tougher than youÂÂ’d think (see photos of the candidates posing with babies at http://www.newdads.com).

Fortunately for the executive office stumpers they now have tips from the experts – the men from Boot Camp for New Dads who train 10,000 new fathers each year via workshops that are run through more than 80 hospitals, clinics, schools and churches in 34 states across the U.S.

Listen up future Commanders in Chief.

Spit Happens. Picking up the babies as politicians do, not knowing if the are fed or not is a gamble with the spew. Just like politicians they can nail you without any change in their expression. Without handing the baby back to mom or dad when this occurs, kindly ask for a burp rag and wipe like its no big deal. Stay cool with drool.

Lift, Spin & Smile. Hold the little cherub facing mom & dad (and the camera) so she continues to see their familiar faces.    Babies think you are ugly compared to their own handsome dads, especially if dad is also bald (bald dads are good for a babyÂÂ’s self esteem).

Guessing gender is like playing baby roulette. DonÂÂ’t be fooled by pink or blue. DonÂÂ’t be misled by bald or long-haired infants. A good non-committal exclamation is, “What a beautiful baby.” Or, “Are you sure this isnÂÂ’t an angel” – although this one may not play all that well with the Catholic Church.

Keep mom or dad within sight. DonÂÂ’t block out the little oneÂÂ’s view of their security source. ItÂÂ’s difficult to put a positive spin on a melt down.

DonÂÂ’t avoid crying babies, or other tough issues. If mom is offering, help her out and take the baby. When you hold him up, the change of scenery may quiet the baby temporarily, and you will get the credit. You get points for trying as well.
