Publisher's summary

You’re excited to be a new mom…but you have no idea what to expect.

You know it’s going to be a magical experience, but you’re feeling both exhilarated and scared.

You’ve been looking forward to this moment for as long as you can remember, but now that it's drawing nearer, you’re getting nervous.

Maybe you’ve looked through countless websites on motherhood but your research is becoming more overwhelming than helpful.

Don’t worry: You are not alone!

Every first-time mom is afraid that they aren’t ready, that they aren’t prepared for this new phase of life. They doubt their capabilities and question whether they are going to be good enough.

It’s not surprising. You’re facing the unknown with all sorts of unrealistic expectations, mistruths, and a highlight reel from the other parents you know. It’s very easy to feel like you’re going to do things wrong, or like you’re already doing things wrong.

You need a one-stop shop that will tell you what normal newborn behavior is really like and how best to care for yourself and your little one.

In Help! I’m a New Mom you’ll find exactly that: a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to help you through the first six months of your baby’s life.

Whether you already have some knowledge or you’re starting from scratch, this is the perfect chance to learn the ins and outs of newborn behavior and put those overwhelming feelings behind you.

In this practical parenting guide, you will discover:

  • The art of preparing for your baby’s arrival–how to get yourself ready, even if you’ve never held a baby in your life
  • How to get through your baby’s first week with flying colors–understand the reality you’re facing and know how to handle anything that comes your way
  • Exactly what your body goes through after birth so you know what’s happening and why, from postpartum to full recovery
  • Step-by-step guidance on how to breastfeed–and why many moms struggle
  • Common pitfalls with bottle-feeding (there’s more to bottle-feeding than you might realize!)
  • The truth behind sleep training–and how to get your baby sleeping through the night
  • How to properly take care of your newborn–uncover the best techniques to ensure you are doing everything you can for your child
  • Common newborn ailments and when to be concerned (do you understand what your baby is telling you?)
  • Milestones you can look forward to month by month
  • How to prioritize yourself as a new mom (your needs matter!)

And much more.

Being a new mom can feel scary, but it doesn’t need to be!

While you’re going to face a lot of challenges, this will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.

Don’t wait until you're drowning in the chaos of having a newborn. Get the knowledge you need to thrive.

It’s time to walk into motherhood feeling cool, calm, and collected.

If you’re ready to start your journey to motherhood with confidence, scroll up and click the “buy” button right now."

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Easy to follow and motivating

Soon-to-be new Moms everywhere should listen to this book. Being a new parent I know there are so many things to worry about. The list goes on for things to remember, but with the help of this book, I was able to take control of my recovery, and also learn to improve and perfect the way I care for my newborn. It has mental tips for recovery of postpartum, and I really enjoyed the exercises included to relax certain areas. Overall a great audiobook.

Demystified everything for me

So thankful for this book - the author does an amazing job teaching you all about the things to do before the baby arrives and how the woman can navigate body image, responsibilities, and newborn care after it arrives.

This audiobook covers all things from packing for the hospital, communicating with your partner, and taking care of yourself and the baby effectively after it’s arrived. I love how approachable this book was and how much it can make the listener feel understood.

The PDF is so so good as well. It includes lists of what you need to remember and what to focus on that’s most important during each phase of the process. I would highly recommend this book to soon-to-be or new moms.

Important tips for new mothers

A newborn child is fragile, extremely fragile. They need a lot of tendering and care, the type of care you don’t learn from traditional relationships with friends, family, and colleagues. And this is not the kind of knowledge you want to learn in the field, but be prepared before hand and that’s the purpose of this book. It prepares you for what to expect and how to handle the challenges that come with caring for a new born so there are no surprises. Great resource for any expecting mother!

Helpful!

I'm expecting a newborn soon and this brings me and my wife a lot of stress and pressure, I got this book to have a decent understanding of how to deal with the first baby, especially for my wife that is going to give birth and have a closer bond to our child, I personally learned a lot and the audiobook covers different difficult challenges that face all new parents, from the first day, week to breastfeeding to waking up at night ..., this is an essential tool. I love it

So much help on one book!

As a first-time mom, I was feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what to expect with the arrival of my baby. But Help! I'm a New Mom was the guide I needed to feel more confident and prepared. This book covers everything from prepping for the baby's arrival to postpartum recovery, newborn behavior, and caring for your little one.
The information is comprehensive, evidence-based, and easy to understand. It even covers topics like breastfeeding and sleep training, which can be overwhelming for new moms. I appreciated the focus on prioritizing self-care, too. Overall, this book is a lifesaver for any new mom and I highly recommend it.
