You know people have been having babies forever, so it can't be that hard—but then again, everyone won't stop telling you how impossibly hard it will be. You know your life is about to change drastically, but you don't quite understand what that means. You think you want to be a parent, but... what if you don't like it?\n\nAnd if that weren't enough stress, the minute the social media algorithm even suspects you might be pregnant, you're bombarded with ads designed to keep you afraid:\n\nBuy this or your baby will never sleep.\nBuy this or your baby won't be smart.\nBuy this or your baby will cry all night with terrible gas.\nBuy this or your baby will get sick from all the chemicals.\n\nThe list goes on...\n\nHere's the truth: advertisers want to keep you afraid because scared people spend. If you're expecting your first child and feeling totally overwhelmed by the unknown, you're in the right place. This is the brutally honest, shame-free guide for overwhelmed first-time parents who need to tune out the noise and get only the information they actually need to survive those early weeks—while preserving their sanity and wellbeing during an already stressful time.\n\nIn this book, you'll learn:\n\n• What you actually need to prepare for having a baby (and what you don't)\n• Which registry items are essential and which are just marketing noise\n• How to do basic baby care—diaper changes, feeds, burping, and leaving the house with your newborn\n• What's truly helpful to prepare for both parents and baby\n• How to give yourself grace and space when the baby industry desperately wants to sink its claws into you\n\nWhy focus on just the first eight weeks? There's a lot to learn about raising a child, but right now, you're not preparing for your child's sixteenth birthday. All you really need to know are the basics to get through the trenches of the first few months. After that, you'll have your bearings and you'll know more about what you need to know—instead of drowning in worry-planning before you've even met your child.\n\nAbove all, this book is a reminder that you don't need to do it all. You just need to keep your baby alive, protect your sanity, and show up with love. This book helps you filter out all the \"shoulds\" and focus on what's most important: your family.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FY526L3N\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0FY526L3N.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Morgan, Molly\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
