Is it supposed to be this hard? It's a question all new mothers ask.

The moment after birthing your baby, you enter postpartum. It's the blurriest of transitions - there's joy and awe but also intense physical recovery, fluctuating hormones, a brain that can't find the right words, and so much to learn. It's beautiful and it's hard.

The Complete Guide to Postpartum is your comforting and enlightening companion to navigating this entirely new life, from the earliest moments post-birth to many years later.

This illustrated guide includes:

  • Your postpartum preparation checklist
  • The fourth trimester
  • Mental health

  • Postpartum with your partner
  • Feeding
  • Sleep

  • Trusted postpartum resources

Full of expert advice, mothers' stories and evidence-based information, this invaluable guide, with handy ribbon marker so you can easily dip in and dip out when you have time and headspace to read, will support you into motherhood with confidence and reassurance.
