Who This Is For

Expecting your first baby? Already home with a newborn wondering what you've gotten into? This guide is for you.

It's warm, practical, and refreshingly honest. No sanctimonious advice about the "right" way to parent. Just evidence-based info, real-world checklists, and the stuff experienced parents wish someone had told them.

The single most useful piece of advice in this guide: take shifts.

If there are two parents, you do not both need to be awake for every feeding. Set up a schedule — Parent A takes 8 PM to 2 AM, Parent B takes 2 AM to 8 AM. This guarantees each person gets 5-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. It's not luxurious, but it's survivable.

The full guide has complete shift templates, feeding guides for both breast and formula, visitor boundary scripts, and the honest truth about what the first week is really like.

This is just a taste. The full kit has 10 chapters covering everything from pregnancy prep through going back to work.
