‘Funny and relatable . . . Buy it as a present for a pregnant friend and she’ll probably make you godmother’ Pandora Sykes

‘Making the transition to motherhood is a seminal moment in the life of a woman and this gutsy, informative – and very funny – guidebook is the ideal ‘best friend’ to navigate new terrain. I loved it.’ Rosie Nixon, Editor-in-Chief, Hello!

So, you’re a mum. Now what? It’s easy to spend so long thinking about the birth (and packing and re-packing that hospital bag) that you forget what happens next: becoming a fully-fledged actual parent.

Introducing The Mumsition: basically your smartest, wittiest mum friend. It covers everything you’ll go through in that crazy first year in a way that’s useful and informative – but also funny, chatty and above all, real.

Becoming a mum (i.e. your mumsition) is one of the biggest things that you’ll ever go through. That’s why the milestones in this book aren’t just about your baby smiling or walking or sleeping through the night for the first time, but everything YOU’RE going through too: the first time you manage to leave the house, the first time you get on a bus with your little one and the first time you have sex again.

The Mumsition is clued-up without being judgemental or patronising, funny without trying too hard and sympathetic and supportive without being saccharine. From the moment you go on maternity leave until your baby’s first birthday, this book has got your back.
