What are the names of some Japanese books about how to take care of a baby tips and adivice?
I have a japanese friend with a new born baby and would like to buy her a gift. I am looking for something like the book what to expect when you are expecting: year one. Or maybe even pediatrics manual.

Answer
There are thousands of child care books in Japan.

How can I get my bosses to pitch in for my coworker's baby present?

Naughty

My friend/coworker and I work in a department of 5 people, the other 3 all being our superiors on different levels. They are all older Japanese men, and there are definite culture differences.
She is almost 7 months pregnant, and although I am organizing a baby shower for her at work, I do not think my bosses would want or feel comfortable attending. In the Japanese culture, things such as baby showers are very much " a woman's thing". However, I feel that her having a baby is a huge life event and that our department should all pitch in on a nice present or gift card to present her with before she goes on maternity leave.

What do you think?
I work in an office of 300 in a huge global corporation. So the baby shower would be for select people from the office whom my friend knows and would like to be there.

Also, my department always pitches in on cake for birthdays, which I guess is not a very Japanese older man thing to do, but they still do it.

Answer
Just email everyone you want to include and tell them you are taking donations for a present. But dont make them feel bad about it. For example:

Hi all,

I am planning a babyshower for ?? and thought it would be nice if we all would pitch in for a present. This way we could get her something really nice. If you are interested in donating for the present please contact me.

Thanks

This way it lets them know what you are doing and you are giving them the option to help out or not..
