Book Description

Put down the parenting books, and discover the secret to being exactly the mom your little one needs.
From the moment you made your pregnancy public knowledge, you were inundated with questions about everything from feeding to when Baby #2 might arrive.

Everywhere you turned, there was unsolicited advice that left you feeling increasingly worried about how you could be the best mom you could possibly be.

Everyone has an opinion on what it will be like taking your first steps into motherhood… and those opinions stack up until you find yourself under a huge amount of pressure to “do it right” – on top of being more tired and overwhelmed than you’ve ever been in your life.

But if you take a step back, you might recall certain expressions like, “You can’t pour from an empty cup” or “Put your own life jacket on first.”

They may be overused, but they’re true, and just because you have the biggest responsibility you’ve ever known, it doesn’t mean they’re not valid – in fact, they apply to you more now than ever.

But just how are you supposed to prioritize self-care when you have a newborn who needs you every second of the day? And how can you possibly ask for help when women have been doing this since the beginning?

Here’s a secret: No woman has ever done it alone… and you don’t have to either.

In order to be the mom you dream of being, you need to take care of yourself and your little one – and this unique guide for new moms will show you how. Inside, you’ll discover:

How to make sense of your emotions – especially the ones you wish you weren’t having
An essential guide to checking in with yourself regularly… and why you should
Why the idea of having no time is a myth (with tips for finding pockets for yourself)
Tried-and-tested tools and techniques for magicking time out of nowhere and using it to take care of your own needs
Why you don’t have to choose between self-care and taking time to bond with your baby – and how to do both at once
What you should be eating as a new mom… and how to make sure you are when you feel like cooking is a distant memory (with quick and easy recipes)
Exactly what to do when you’re worrying that decent sleep is long gone… and the benefits you’ll see when you implement them
Practical techniques for safeguarding your mental wellbeing, no matter how you’re feeling right now
Why you’ll never be Super Mom… and how giving up the dream will open you up to being a better (and happier) mother
The art of building a support network with the power to transform your life
The reason the journey is the goal – and how to embrace every moment (even the challenges)
And much more.

It doesn’t matter how many parenting books you’ve read… There’s a piece of the puzzle missing until you know how to put yourself on top of the list.

If the very thought panics you, remember that your little one needs you – the healthy, joyful mom who can show them the importance of taking care of themselves.

They may be in your arms right now, but in a few years' time, they’ll be watching everything you do and learning from the woman they love more than anyone in the world. Taking care of you is taking care of them – and you’re about to discover how to do it with a newborn.
