Oh Baby is much-recommended by new mothers and is the only book you'll need for the best baby advice. Now completely revised and updated.

Refreshingly honest, openly frank, and candidly blunt, this book has been written by a mother (who is also an experienced midwife) for other mothers. It oozes warm fuzzies, exudes realism in every paragraph, and is refreshing in its guiltless honesty.

Modern first-time mothers are often aloneβ€”devoid of once-traditional motherhood knowledge and practical support. Often previously self-confident women find themselves isolated, fumbling over everyday mothering tasks, enduring sleep deprivation, feeling desperately despondentβ€”and aching and leaking everywhere.

This book provides supportive, caring adviceβ€”one mum to anotherβ€”while at the same time serving as an encyclopaedic medical reference regarding the mother and baby. Checked thoroughly by medical professionals, this book is a unique blend, like having access to a kind and gentle GP as well as to all the gems of wisdom of years of mothers' coffee groups.

This title clearly and compassionately explains the ups as well as the downs, which are perfectly normal aspects of giving birth and mothering in today's society.
