This first volume covers the earliest stretch of motherhood: from late pregnancy preparation through the first weeks home with the baby. Across 28 chapters in three sections, it answers the questions new mothers actually have: Preparing for Arrival - what to pack at thirty-six weeks, what to stock in the freezer, how to choose a pediatrician, what to set up before the baby arrives Hospital and First Hours - what to ask for, what to refuse, what to learn before discharge, why to request the lactation consultant on day one First Weeks Home - how to lower the bar to keeping yourself and the baby alive, how to curate visitors, why not to Google symptoms at three in the morning The voice is unsentimental and warm. The advice is specific and practical. Lynette and Todd Cotton, drawing on decades of marriage and family life, treat new mothers as the intelligent adults they are. For new mothers, expecting mothers, partners, and anyone who supports them. The book that earns its place on the nightstand and stays there. The first volume in a series that follows the entire first year. Start here. ADVANCE REVIEWS: ""The baby shower gift that actually gets used."" I bought five copies after reading my own.

I read three or four chapters every night during the first weeks. The book made the hardest period of my life more navigable. I've already given copies to two friends. ARC Review ""Real information for real mothers."" No fluff. No condescension. No empty reassurance. Just honest, substantive guidance for the first year of motherhood. The book I wish I'd had with my first child. ARC Review ""Read this before the baby comes."" I read it during my third trimester and felt prepared in ways I wouldn't have otherwise. The chapters on what to expect at the hospital, in the first weeks, and through the early months were invaluable. Worth every cent. ARC Review
