This was a really informative book. I wish I read it either before baby or during my maternity leave. I like all of her advice. She really breaks down every aspect of post-partum life and getting "back to reality" of sorts.
Would recommend to anyone working mom. Full of simple but helpful ideas for work. Better than any book about pregnancy haha.
This book was amazing cause there is none like it. I only gave it three stars cause a lot of it didn’t apply to me but I’m sure it applies to others. I started a new job after my leave and was not breast feeding when I returned to work. My lil the Be is eight months and I’m still using a lot of her tips from the book. I waited too long to read this cause I got caught up in the craziness of having a baby. Lol. I suggest if you buy it find time to read it right after baby. It will be more helpful.

I think every working mom should read this, preferably before going back to work. I'll have a full review on the blog later, because I pulled out a lot of gold nuggets while reading that I want to share.
Easy to read and relateable. I appreciated the insight!
This was extremely helpful. I think it would have benefitted from a section with a basic breakdown of legal requirements in the US and maybe some info for employers.
useful, author is super femme so some lessons are not as applicable. Hardest pill to swallow: I might have to make new friends with whom I have nothing in common except a similarly aged baby and maybe a geographic proximity. I already *have* friends and new people are scary!
