About the author

Michelle Newman was so ready to be a mom. How hard could it be? Fast forward to March 2020, when her son Carter was born just outside New York City. Eight days in as a first-time mom: cue global shutdown, stay-at-home orders, social isolation, and shattered hopes and dreams for a “normal” (unpaid) maternity leave. Global pandemic aside, why had she felt like she read and researched every possible piece of information while pregnant, only to find out she was NOT actually prepared to take care of the baby?

Michelle vowed that her pregnant friends would not be as confused/overwhelmed/surprised as she was. What started as text messages and a spreadsheet transformed into a blog and then a first book. Michelle is a fierce advocate for new moms and hopes that sharing the information she has learned will be valuable to other new moms navigating the (sometimes choppy) waters!
