The Sh!t No One Tells You: A Guide to Surviving Your Baby's First Year

First-time moms would look up to Google to seek some advice on becoming the best parent to their newborn. There are so many good things to see around the internet. More often, we would see that nothing compares to the joy and excitement that you would feel the first time that you held your baby or that it would be hard for a mom to resist their newborn's clinginess. But no one told you the other side of the story. No one said to you that your baby would pee or poop or you when you least expect it, or that tantrums will happen at precisely the moment that you need your baby to behave. Fret not, mommies! Here is a book that covers the details singled out when you were searching through the internet.
