Help! I'm a New Mother
by
Carolyn R. Scheidies
Non-Fiction
“A great gift for expectant or new moms, Help! I’m a
New Mother is a quick read, and a good resource.”
—Kay Tira, mother of three.
… will inspire any mother to think, "Hey, I CAN do this
after all!" —Kathy Collard Miller, speaker and author of
numerous books, including Princess to Princess.
“I wish I could have had Carolyn's Help! I'm a New
Mother when I was a new mom.” —Laura A. Sherwood,
assistant professor of Broadcasting/KLPR advisor at
the University of Nebraska at Kearney and mother
of three.
“Help! I’m a New Mother” helps the new mother
survive with humor and sanity intact.”
I wish I'd had a book like this when I was a new mother. About all there was out back then, oh, a couple centuries ago, was Dr. Spock, well-meaning mothers/mothers-in-law and just about everyone else with an opinion. Help! - is right.
What does a brand-new mother do? You get the new baby home - and then what? Suddenly your whole life changes as you learn to adjust to those wee-hour wake-up calls; making the formula or trying to schedule your life around breast-feeding time; and, probably the most difficult adjustment of all - finding time for your husband, who sometimes seems to forget that he's responsible for this situation as much as you are. And, yes, even how to find time for YOU, the new mother.
Oh, yeah, there's dealing with that pregnancy weight gain, too.
HELP! I'M A NEW MOTHER addresses these issues with compassion, insight and practical advice, along with tips and hints that will help the new mother as she deals with all the stress and strain of having a new baby at home. Those of us who've been there know what a totally drastic change this first new little one has on our daily lives. Carolyn even shares about how do deal with the impact on the family budget. This book has it all.
As I, and others have said - "Where was this book when I needed it?"
