Book description
Refreshingly honest, openly frank and candidly blunt, this book has
been written by a mother for other mothers. It oozes with warm fuzzies,
it reeks of mumsy terms, it exudes realism in every paragraph and it is
refreshing in its guiltless honesty. Modern first-time mothers are often
alone - devoid of once traditional motherhood knowledge and practical
support. Often previously self-confident women find themselves
inconceivably isolated, hopelessy fumbling over everday mothering tasks,
enduring torturous levels of sleep deprivation, feeling desperately
despondent and physiologically aching and leaking everywhere. This book
provides supportive, caring advice - one Mum to another - 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 new
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. After three children and two decades involved in
sales and marketing within the travel industry, Kathy discovered a
personal passion for the topics of childbirth, newborns and motherhood.
Co-creator of the infant cot product Secure-A-SleepTM, Kathy is now also
the infant sleep advisor for Parent's Centre Birth Story , and she is
currently completing a degree in midwifery.
