Many women know, and research confirms, that having an experienced female birth companion who is neither a health professional nor a part of their social circle can have a tangible positive effect on their experience of childbirth.

Outrageously confident and sweetly indignant, The Honest Toddler tackles everything from preferred toddler foods (unbroken crackers and undiluted juice), unconditional love (accept them as they are-pants or no pants), sleep and potty training methods (none), play date etiquette (mi casa es not su casa), and the proper response to random aggression at the playground (embrace it, park justice is messy but swift).

The early years with baby and toddler will never be seamless but they shouldn't leave you gasping for air either. Less struggle and more joy in your first years as mom starts here. It's all solid advice. Sleep while the baby is sleeping. The dishes can wait. They grow up so fast. This too, shall pass. These clichés hint at a universal truth: Being a first-time mom is hard. You don't need to be told "it's just a season." You need a clear view of early motherhood and tools to help.
