Today's Moms: Essentials for Surviving Baby's First Year by Alicia Ybarbo, Mary Ann Zoellner
mayalaurent's review
4.0
I had several people tell me that this is a great book to give to expecting/new moms as a gift. I felt like I couldn't give it as a gift if I hadn't read it and thought it was helpful.
So I dove into and while of course I knew a lot of it being our second kid, I also found myself laugh and even getting choked up a bit. Like every other baby book out there, they do contradict themselves somewhat, saying one thing on page 1 and another one page 10 but it still helps a new mom get lots of perspectives.
I really liked the sections about postpartum depression and going back to work once you have a baby. It was very honest and something I think would be so helpful for moms to read and know they are normal. I will probably give it as a gift now with other essentials no one wants to buy new moms! :)
