Summary

Based on the Mumsnet best badge 2016 winner, Truly Happy Baby.

Whether you've just had a baby or you're about to welcome your new little bundle into the world, you probably have a lot of questions.... I know I did! And I also know from firsthand experience with my three babies that one-size-fits-all parenting doesn't work. So this audiobook is to help you find out what will work for you and your baby when it comes to feeding, sleeping, well-being, lifestyle, and looking after yourself.

I've included information and friendly advice I wish I'd been given before I became a mum for the first time alongside some shortcuts and tips that worked for me. I hope this audiobook will empower you during your first 12 months of parenthood to trust your own mummy intuition and to care for your children in your own way - confidently and happily. We all have that intuition; we just need to learn to tune in to it!

This audiobook will equip you with the know-how you need to get you through the sleepless nights and concerns to all the magical first moments. It's the ultimate collection of things that worked for me as a new mum - and I hope it works for you, too. Love, Holly xxx

While the author has made every effort to ensure that the information contained in this book reflects NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and NHS guidelines at the time of publication, medical knowledge is constantly changing, and the application of it to particular circumstances depends on many factors. This audiobook is intended as a reference volume only, not as a medical manual. The information given here is designed to help you make informed decisions about you and your baby, and it should be used to supplement rather than replace the advice of your doctor or other trained health professionals. Therefore it is recommended that a qualified medical specialist is always consulted for advice. The author and publishers cannot be held responsible for any errors and omissions that may be found in the text or any actions that may be taken by a listener as a result of any reliance on the information contained in the text.

lovely listen

A lovely listen for a mum-to-be. Filling you with support and knowledge. Preparing you for that little bundle and all its little surprises

Not what it claims to be

This reads like a baby manual, it reels off boring step by step instructions for things like how to make a formula bottle, how to breastfeed a baby, about nine different nap schedules etc - really not riveting listening and all available elsewhere from more knowledgeable sources.

What I wanted from this was anecdotes and stories for what she tried and found worked for her but there's very very little of that (despite it being the title of the book!).

Overall a very dry listen.

So helpful

I have just listened to this pregnant and I will listen again close to my due date. This book is so informative and helpful. It's also so obvious that Holly is crazy about her children and in love with them 😊🥰, can't wait to meet my little boy and this book made me feel more ready for it. 😊

Honest, easy listening

Really enjoyed this book. As an expecting first time mum I found the advice helpful and honest. Putting some fears and my mind at ease for worries I had and meeting societies expectations.
Holly's voice was also lovely and easy to listen to so far enjoyed it more than some American or robotic sounding books I've tried listening to previously.
Thank you!

Great for first time mums

I found this great and really informative being a first time mum. There are alot of basics so if its not your first it might not be the best for you id say its targeted for new mums
