      Great for a giggle!

      By Jeannette, mom of two 7 year olds and one 7 week old

      I found this book to be great for a laugh- especially when I needed one with my colicky third baby! It's nice to know I'm not the only one with post partum brain! Definitly worth picking up to read while nursing.

      Truthful

      By Anita first time mother

      This book was a great book to read. As a frist time mom it helped me realize that what I was going through or feeling was normal. It put it in a way that was light hearted which I am sure many moms can relate that we need it given to us as gently as possible. I would highly recommend this book to everyone!

      Don't bother if you've read the pregnancy one

      By Christine, mother of 19month old

      I LOVED the pregnancy survival guide. This book would be great, if you're reading it while you're still pregnant. The first several chapters cover things to take to the hospital when baby is born, how to handle visitors in the hospital and when you first get home.
