The Mother's Book of Well-Being: Caring for Yourself So You Can Care for Your Baby

Motherhood can be exciting, thrilling, frightening, exhausting, and rewarding sometimes all at the same time. A Mothers Book of Well-Being starts and ends with the premise that the better the new mother takes care of herself, the better caregiver and mother she can be. Through 52 short essays, one for each week of the first year of motherhood, the author provides practical tips (surviving sleep deprivation, finding time alone) as well as spiritual sustenance to assist new mothers in overcoming common feelings of isolation, frustration, and uncertainty.
