The kokugos say that the メン in イケメン comes from 面 as well as "men".
I think the original note was fine.

Perhaps you could say
"Pun on イケメン using イク as in 育児 and メン as in メンズ"

Regarding: "pun on 育児 and イケメン"
It's also a pun on メンズ, isn't it? 
(The メン in イケメン refers to the face (面), not "men; males".)
