Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

Learn to embrace your instincts and approach motherhood with confidence.

Because there is no 'right way', only what's right for you and your baby.

Following on from the success of Your Baby, Your Birth, renowned birth and parenting coach Hollie de Cruz applies her much-loved approach to the first year of motherhood.

This empowering and thought-provoking book will guide you through the ever-changing landscape of your baby's first year, month by month, and will help you feel assured that you know your baby best.

Filled with mindfulness techniques, Hollie's award-winning yesmum affirmations, and game-changing exercises to help you feel more capable and relaxed, Motherhood Your Way shows you how to:

Understand your baby and respond to their needs
Develop your maternal instincts and turn down the noise of outside opinions
Build resilience and avoid comparisons
Find time for self-care and create a nurturing support network

Motherhood is full of ups and downs, but with this book as your companion, you'll soon realise that you are everything your baby needs and more.

Okay, so I really loved this book, the author is really with you. I've not read anything like this before, and having had NO kids of my own and not even expecting at the moment, I wanted to get some background on what it would be like from a mother's perspective, prep mainly before I decided to go f......more

I really wish I had read or listened to this book before giving birth to my baby.

Quotes

Hollie shares the raw truth about what to expect in motherhood in the most nurturing, supportive and calming way, providing tools to guide you step by step through the emotional rollercoaster that motherhood brings. What I love most is the way Hollie reminds us on to listen to our instinct, when there is so much external noise and opinions, sometimes is hard to focus on what is right for you. Motherhood Your Way will help you stay true to you.

In this thoughtful book, Hollie shares her beautiful and important ideas on how we can all approach motherhood and the birth of our new selves with wonder and awareness, from tuning into our instincts to creating the personal rituals and sacred space that our family need in order to navigate the inevitable twists and turns. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Hollie mentored me and introduced me to new way of birthing and of thinking. I learned things about my own body that I had never been taught and it changed my life forever. I have no doubt that the exercises and thoughts in these pages will offer mothers everywhere the empowerment they so deserve.
