The Little Book of Self-Care for New Mums

this is a comforting read during those tiresome and frustrating newborn days. It encourages you to take time for yourself and to look ahead! I bought it with my 3rd baby and I would recommend it as something to help lift the spirits of a new mama!

Great book. I am a med professional and did not know all of this! Midwifery in the UK is top rated globally for a reason and this book does not disappoint. Hopefully the US will once day get on board with how birthing is meant to be... that’s my soapbox but this book has amazing postpartum tips!

Very informative and easy to read. Made me laugh too!

This book really is ‘Everything you need to know about the postnatal period to feel supported, empowered and understood.’I’ve brought a couple of these as gifts and I’m so happy with them! I’ve added a couple of photographs of the index to show what material is included. Perfect!

This book has been like a little friend to me over the past few days (my newborn is 1 week old), giving me a much needed little hug in the middle of the night. It's such a lovely, comforting book, and is also full of such useful guidance. I also love that the book is illustrated, and the lovely illustrations fit the tone of the book perfectly. I agree with the previous review that I read and I will also be buying this for every pregnant friend!! Thank you to the authors for putting this book together for us new mums xx

I pre-ordered this book for a friend. It looked different to the other books out there and seemed to be focussed on being supportive to new mums rather than a parenting book. As a Mum myself I thought ‘That’s what is needed!’ having ditched any books that had seem to be counter intuitive and preachy. I looked through the book to make sure it was the right sort of thing - it was and is. It is packed full of wisdom rather than advice and has so much experience and knowledge packed into it whilst keeping it light hearted. It tackles many issues that don’t get discussed and are hard to talk about. It has an offering or remedy for almost every post natal issue and all you can do at home. It’s message is supportive of women and their different choices and experiences. It’s excellent and feels like having a good chat with a wise friend. Highly recommend.

This book is an absolute god send, especially for new mums like me who don't really know what's going on or how to look after ourselves! Beccy has literally saved me during pregnancy with her actual magical hands in prenatal massage, not to mention all the supportive chats and advice during our sessions - from breastfeeding advice to exercises - And to now have her knowledge at my fingertips in book form gives me the comfort and confidence I need for the next chapter. Thank you!!

What a beautiful little book. Written in such a warm and supportive way. The content is spot on- really good practical and more importantly manageable advice. In our society where pretty much everything tells you to look presentable, get out there and get back in shape, this is a fantastic antidote and in no way patronising like so many other pregnancy and new mum books. I love the wonderful illustrations too, which are inclusive of all colours shapes and sizes. This makes a wonderful present- buy it for yourself or for a friend.
