For every 3am question. And every quiet worry.
Over 200 pages and 25 chapters covering the whole of your baby's first year, from the last quiet weeks before they arrive to their first birthday. Feeding, sleep, crying, nappies, teething, first foods, your own recovery, going back to work, and all the things no one thinks to warn you about. Whatever comes up, at whatever hour, there is a calm, clear answer waiting here.
It reads the way a trusted friend would talk to you: warm, honest, and never once making you feel you are getting it wrong. It tells you what is normal, what actually helps, and, just as importantly, when to seek help, all grounded in current, trusted guidance. A companion for the hard days, not another rulebook to live up to.
Yours to keep and read on your phone, tablet or computer, in the small hours or on the school run, whenever you need it. Because the first year is a great deal easier when it feels like someone has your back.
