Why not read…

The Little Book of Self Care for New Mums. I am so pleased to see books like this appearing in our bookshops. We need more of this and less prescriptive parenting guides.

My advice: read this, make a little time to look after yourself (you will be a better mummy for it!), and give yourself time and freedom to find your own parenting style… Remind yourself there is no way to be a perfect parent, and a million ways to be a good one!
