Before the baby arrives, everyone tells you to be prepared. We learned that being ready enough is far more realistic. Here's everything we wish someone had told us before the adventure began.
Honest, practical books for getting ready and finding your feet through the first months together. The things we wish someone had told us, one stage at a time.

Before the baby arrives, everyone tells you to be prepared. We learned that being ready enough is far more realistic. Here's everything we wish someone had told us before the adventure began.

Month 1: birth to one month. The feeds, the broken nights, the tiny noises and the questions that arrive the minute you get home. Honest, practical help for finding your feet when your baby is brand new and everything feels new to you, too.

Month 2: one to two months. The feeds change, the nights are still broken and the washing somehow multiplies. An honest companion to the wind, the nappies, the tiredness and the small moments that help you feel a little more like her parent.

Month 3: two to three months. More little responses, new questions and a routine that seems to change just as you get used to it. Feeding, sleep, time together and finding your confidence without expecting every day to look the same.

Every guide on this site, in order, with the red-flag lists on their own pages so you can find them fast. Designed to live next to the changing table and get covered in something.
