Excellent for new and expecting parents

With so much uncertainty, getting as much information and reassurance as possible is comforting. This bundle is comprehensive, going chronologically so that you know what to expect through each stage and milestone. I learned so much and will be recommending this to someone in my life who is expecting.

Just what I needed,

This bundle for first-time mothers is exceptional! While there are many books and audiobooks available that focus on pregnancy, this bundle delves into the crucial details of what comes after. I was impressed with the abundance of valuable tips, including the significance of skin-to-skin contact with the baby and effective ways to avoid contact sleep. Additionally, the audiobook directly addresses concerns surrounding baby-led weaning, and the included recipes and food preparation guidelines make it effortless to get started. I highly recommend giving this audiobook a listen!

A MUST-HAVE for first time moms!

This two-book bundle is an absolute must for first time moms. I am doing some research to clear my head and have more of a balanced idea of what to expect. The first book is amazing to provide accurate (non-embellished) information to know the most common and important things you'll have to decide or consider. The additional bonus of the second book - Spoons and Solids - is exceptional and again, it eases the burden when in doubt about how to begin the inevitable transition to solids. Not having much of a friend or family support system, I found these combined works a most interesting and necessary listen for soon-to-be mothers.

Kids Do Not Come With Manuals but This Comes Close

Being a mother is very stressful and this book helps to relieve the stress by recommending routines no matter how unpredictable—even the suitable types of food. Even though kids do not come with instructions, these books come close.

I was the mom in the book cover until this book

I struggled so much when I had my first and wish I had got this book earlier. I was at a loss when my baby wasn't eating and sleeping. It drove me crazy. This book helped me figure out that my child is actually undergoing a four month sleep regression and bottle aversion. It also introduced the idea of baby-led weaning which fascinates me even as a mother of two. I particularly appreciate the simple three-ingredient recipes. I'm excited to try as it seems to work well for busy parents like myself. Overall great resources for new and experienced parents!

Great Listen!

I was looking for a comprehensive and informative guide to help me through my first twelve months of motherhood, and I am thrilled I found this bundle! Written in an easy-to-understand format, the author covers it all – from breastfeeding to postpartum recovery to baby-led weaning. The author does a great job at addressing all the things a new mom needs to know, like tips and secrets to successful breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, how to prepare for giving birth, and how to recover after childbirth. As someone who is not a seasoned mom, I found the book to be incredibly helpful with tips and tricks to solve common problems like burping and trapped wind. The author even provides a month-by-month guide and several different movements for gas relief. The second book in the bundle goes into even more detail about weaning, providing easy-to-follow meal plans and recipes, in-depth strategies for spoon-feeding, and helpful advice about common mistakes and questions. I highly recommend this bundle for any new mom out there who needs a comprehensive guide for their baby's first twelve months.
