We know there's no parenting manual- but this may be the next best thing! Being a new mom can be incredibly overwhelming but in this book, she breaks down every aspect of the first few months to help you know what to expect and what to do. I know if I had this book with my first child, I would have felt a lot more confident in the beginning. This informative, non-judgemental guide to being a new mom teaches you everything you need to know about taking care of yourself and your baby in the first few months postpartum. You won't regret buying this book for yourself or a new mom in your life!

What a thoughtful, well-written; with a dose of hard truths and light-hearted wit, book. I've read Jocelyn's other book Spoons And Solids and have so much appreciation for her research, personal experience and understanding that every baby, mom and family is unique. If you have a kid, are expecting one, adopting one, planning on other, give Help! I'm a New Mom a read!

This book was a lot easier to follow then others I have read. She made me feel better about being overwhelmed and clueless. I definitely recommend!

Easy to read and covers every area of postpartum and newborn care. The advice is realistic, practical, and in-depth. My favorite part was that the author understands what you are feeling, and it is written in a warm and non-judgmental tone. The chapter on what the first week will be like with a newborn is a must-read for any new mom who wants to know what to expect. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I am grateful for books like these. They give valuable information without too much unecessary fluff. great purchase! 5/5

This book is sensible, realistic, humorous at times, and backed by science! It checks all the boxes for a quality parenting guide and should be on every new parent's reading list. This book covers every need-to-know newborn topic and many other scenarios you never think to ask about until you are living through them! You will not regret reading this book.

I have read other new mom books and this book was so detailed. Every question I would ever have was answered and the authors tone was realistic and down to earth. I love how she presents realistic expectations including the good and the bad. The last section on self cafe and surviving motherhood provided advice that was doable and quickly made a change in my life. I also relied on the first week chapter and newborn woes. It became by bible during the first few months. Can’t recommend enough whether you’re about to give birth or struggling as a new mom.

This book is a must have!!! I’ve had 3 kids and didn’t know some of this stuff that’s in this book!! Like I didn’t know breast milk could be used for so many different things!!

There's no exact manual for any parent because every experience is different, but this comes pretty close! It covers all the different areas you might need as a new parent, including personal care, looking after your little one, and when you should be worried/not worried. The tone is very accessible and understanding, and everybody who's expecting a child will benefit from the rich information this book offers. It answers things you'd never think to ask until you've got your baby in your arms, and gives you as much preparation as it's possible to have when you're plunging into parenthood.
