Publisher's Summary

You’re excited to be a new mom, but you have no idea what to expect. Don’t worry, you are not alone!

Whether you're nervous, exhilarated, or overwhelmed by the idea of motherhood, this is the perfect chance to learn what normal newborn behavior is really like and how best to care for yourself and your little one.

In Help! I’m A New Mom, you’ll discover:

  • How to get through your baby’s first week with flying colors–understand the reality you’re facing and know how to handle anything that comes your way.
  • Exactly what your body goes through after birth, so you know what’s happening and why.
  • Step-by-step guidance on how to breastfeed–and why many moms struggle.
  • Common pitfalls with bottle-feeding (there’s more to bottle-feeding than you might realize!)
  • The truth behind sleep training–and how to get your baby sleeping through the night.
  • How to properly take care of your newborn–uncover the best techniques to ensure you are doing everything you can for your child.
  • Common newborn ailments and when to be concerned.
  • Milestones you can look forward to month by month.

Plus, as a bonus, you'll also get Spoons and Solids to help you take the guesswork out of the weaning process and raise independent, healthy, and adventurous eaters. Here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • How to determine the best tailored feeding approach for your family and modify it as your baby's motor skills and tastes develop.
  • Step-by-step guidance on the baby-led weaning method and how to improve spoon-feeding.
  • Practical answers to the most frequently asked questions that parents have about feeding, including the difference between choking and gagging.
  • Simple cooking hacks, easy three ingredient recipes, and healthy meal plans approved by a board certified specialist in pediatric nutrition.

Being a new mom can feel scary, but it doesn’t need to be!

Don’t wait until you're drowning in the chaos of having a newborn. Get the knowledge you need to thrive. It’s time to walk into motherhood feeling cool, calm, and collected.
