The Modern Girl's Guide To Motherhood

Description

Just when you thought you could cook (hey, one meal counts), clean (if the queen was coming), and seduce a man (well, long enough to get married), life throws you a surprise that makes all of your previous ineptitudes in life pale in comparison. With the appearance of one little extra line on a pregnancy test, you're thrown into a world of telling your boss you're pregnant, covering up leaks on shirts, and taking a pacifier away from a two-year-old who has the grip of a pit bull. While there are dozens of books out there on these topics, none of them give you, the smart modern mother, the information you need in a stylish, easy-to-use format. Buckingham cuts through the clutter to give you simple information and practical advice for navigating the different stages of motherhood. From how to get your child to sleep, how to wean, how to get him off the pacifier, how to stop his tantrums, this book will help mums feel in the know and in control. With hot mums like Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Garner, and Katie Holmes dominating the media with the message that you don't have it all until you have a baby, "The Modern Girl's Guide to Motherhood" will be the resource for parenting advice.
