I couldn't put this book down...crammed with must-know advice...informative and funny, I felt as if the author truly understood what I'm going through -- Catherine Jones, Mum to Freddie, six months * Pregnancy&Birth Magazine * 'I love how Holly writes- I felt like reading it I was sitting chatting with a friend having a cuppa in a cafe- it's not preachy, it's full of helpful advice and there's enough it'll help you make your own mind up. It's also an easy read, as I remember those early days, and actually reading anything was a task in itself...
