30th Place - 3rd Annual Interactive Fiction Competition (1997)
Take care of your new baby. Really, that's it--just do all the obvious things associated with taking care of a baby, overcoming some guess-the-verb and guess-the-syntax problems. Minimalist and unexciting, though you do have the option of putting your baby in the blender.
-- Duncan Stevens

If having kids was as difficult and tedious as playing Congratulations!, our population problem would be solved.

Quite a novel concept for a text game, and it's been competently programmed and quite well written. The trouble is, it's just so uninspiringly dull, and blindingly easy to complete. [...] Political correctness was also carried a bit far, I think, in referring constantly to the baby as "it".

In this short ifcomp game, you run around trying to feed, change, and put your baby to sleep.
The game is spare with uncapitalized room names and stray punctuation. Reasonable solutions to the puzzles are often not accepted and provide no clues as to what would be acceptable.
