Aimed at mums who have survived the first year of motherhood, The Not-So-New Mum's Notebook is filled with pages and pages of self-care, reassurance and "we've all been there" advice. It hopes to make mums everywhere feel good about themselves, to put them at ease and to reassure them about how well they are raising their child.
Subtitled "A journal for the toddler and pre-school years", the book is written by Amy Ransom, mum-of-three and creator of the Surviving Motherhood blog. It is not designed as a parenting guide - it is a book that sets out to nurture the mum, to share experiences and to give her a place to write down HER thoughts and feelings.
It is an opportunity for mums to look back on all that they have overcome - and loved - to empower them and give them strength when they're on the verge of tearing their hair out - and let's face it, that can happen a lot in the early years !
Along with oodles of pages to fill in, the book offers lots of advice, deals with day-to-day occurrences such as fancy dress ideas or birthday cake recipes, and looks at ways to make you feel better about yourself and get the most out of the weekend.
Sometimes, all you need to know as a mum is that it will all be OK and that generations of mothers have had the same thoughts as you. This book will help reassure and encourage, love and support any new(ish) mum, as well as giving her a place to scribble down thoughts, feelings and memories along the way.
RRP £16.99, Hutchinson, Hardback, published 6th September 2018
