The New Mom's Guide to Living on Baby Time

by Susan Besze Wallace, Monica Reed

New moms run into a host of new challenges once baby arrives, including getting back into shape, developing a parenting style, readjusting schedules, and interacting with their husbands in new ways. With compassion and humor--and always the privilege of motherhood in mind--The New Mom's Guides go straight to the heart of these matters, offering moms guidance and encouragement in this new season of life. Each of the four books in the series offers real advice from women who have been there, done that, and want other moms to benefit from their trials and triumphs. A perfect gift for baby showers, Mother's Day, or any day, these small volumes are compact enough to take along in an overstuffed diaper bag and designed for the mom who can only find a few minutes of peace each day to read.

Would be useful if I were a neat freak. If you are a neat freak, you may find this useful. This wasn't my problem.

This is the perfecting timing for me to read this book. My daughter is seven weeks old and the advice here is priceless. Not so much necessarily to "learn", but more to hear that I am not crazy and not alone. So far all of The New Mom's Guides that I have read are fabulous and this one is right along with the others. I look forward to reading more. This one alone makes me want to look up a MOPS nearby.

This was a helpful, practical, quick read. I'm going to try the rest of the series, too. Hopefully I can put the advice into practice when the time comes!

[Teegan]

I really like this series. Quick read with some practical advice delivered in a non-scary, non-judgmental way. Those four things are really hard to find in the pregnancy/parenting literature world.

This book was given to me by my in laws right after our daughter was born but I didn't read it right away and now wish I would have :-) very helpful and partial issues.

Quick, easy, practical read. Good advice for moms to be.
