Publisher's Synopsis
Parenting 101: A Guide for New Parents is your no-nonsense, laugh-through-the-tears handbook for surviving the first wild ride of parenthood. Whether you've just brought home a squishy newborn or you're still counting kicks and prepping the nursery, this book is the hug (and reality check) every new parent needs.
With warmth, wit, and real-world experience, this guide walks you through what to expect-and what nobody tells you about those early months. It covers the big stuff (like feeding, sleep, and bonding) and the everyday chaos (like why your baby only poops when you finally sit down with a warm coffee). You'll find practical tips, relatable stories, and bite-sized advice that's easy to digest-even on no sleep.
Inside, you'll find:What's actually normal during those newborn nights
Simple guidance on breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and figuring out your baby's cues
Tips for diapering, soothing, and surviving public meltdowns
Gentle advice for your own mental health and healing
Encouragement, humor, and grace-because nobody gets it all right
This isn't just another parenting manual packed with confusing jargon and impossible standards. It's a realistic, compassionate, and sometimes hilariously honest look at what early parenthood is really like. Written in a conversational tone, Parenting 101 feels more like a chat with a fellow parent than a lecture. It acknowledges the tough stuff without scaring you, and it celebrates the wins, no matter how small.
Whether you're a first-time parent or just need a refresh for round two (or three), this book reminds you that you're not alone, you're not messing everything up, and yes, you're doing better than you think.
Perfect for baby showers, gifting to expectant parents, or reading during those 3 a.m. feedings when you just need to know someone else gets it.
