Just what I needed,
This bundle for first-time mothers is exceptional! While there are many books and audiobooks available that focus on pregnancy, this bundle delves into the crucial details of what comes after. I was impressed with the abundance of valuable tips, including the significance of skin-to-skin contact with the baby and effective ways to avoid contact sleep. Additionally, the audiobook directly addresses concerns surrounding baby-led weaning, and the included recipes and food preparation guidelines make it effortless to get started. I highly recommend giving this audiobook a listen!

From newborn care all through the baby's first year, the author details strategies and tips to overcome the challenges that come with being a new mom.

A MUST-HAVE for first time moms!
This two-book bundle is an absolute must for first time moms. I am doing some research to clear my head and have more of a balanced idea of what to expect. The first book is amazing to provide accurate (non-embellished) information to know the most common and important things you'll have to decide or consider. The additional bonus of the second book - Spoons and Solids - is exceptional and again, it eases the burden when in doubt about how to begin the inevitable transition to solids. Not having much of a friend or family support system, I found these combined works a most interesting and necessary listen for soon-to-be mothers.

Eye opening guide!
The author does an excellent job of addressing common concerns and questions that new mothers have, from getting through the first week with a newborn to breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, to sleep training and caring for your baby's health. The book is written in an easy-to-understand language, and the step-by-step guidance makes it simple to follow along.
The bonus section on weaning is a fantastic addition to this already comprehensive guide. Spoons and Solids provides practical advice on feeding your baby, including baby-led weaning and easy three-ingredient recipes. The recipes are healthy and delicious, and the meal plans are approved by a board-certified specialist in pediatric nutrition.
Overall, Help! I'm A New Mom is an invaluable resource for any new mother. It's like having a supportive friend by your side, guiding you through the ups and downs of motherhood. If you're a new mom or soon-to-be, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book. You won't regret it!

New Mom Bootcamp
The birth of a child brings about new challenges. Most classes on becoming a new mom will fill up fast. Finding a good one is nearly impossible to get a slot in the usual 12-week course. These paternity classes are expensive unless your insurance takes care of the expenditure. Many decisions can be made in the hospital and others after your child's birth.
Listening to this audiobook will undoubtedly help you on this life-changing journey. This was an easy to listen to narration by Erika Schindele. Her enthusiasm will keep you engaged, and you will feel the stress melt away. This first-time mothers guide by Jocely Goodwin focuses on how to master the first 12 months of a baby’s life. Jocelyn shares many evidence-based guidelines and modern parental advice about meeting the baby's needs. This audiobook also has a bonus-filled pdf download. There are no complicated strategies but rather a collection of helpful information that can be customized because every baby is different. I wish I had this book to give to myself and my sons. The postpartum timeline is priceless.

A LOT OF USEFUL INFORMATION
Although there isn't a manual for raising children, this could be the next best thing. In this book, she breaks down every aspect of the first few months to help you know what to anticipate and what to do. Being a new parent may be tremendously daunting. With my first child, I am certain that I would have started off feeling much more confident if I had this book. You will learn everything you need to know about taking care of yourself and your newborn during the first few postpartum months from this educational, nonjudgmental guide to being a new mom. You won't be sorry if you get this book for a new mom in your life or for yourself!

Kids Do Not Come With Manuals but This Comes Close
Being a mother is very stressful and this book helps to relieve the stress by recommending routines no matter how unpredictable—even the suitable types of food. Even though kids do not come with instructions, these books come close.
