Publisher's summary

An unapologetic guide to the first year of motherhood, Enough About the Baby is a newborn book for women who recognize the necessity of self-care—even if sometimes the rest of the world does not.

Superheroes don’t have babies; real and imperfect non-superhumans do. When we come to terms with this, the result is a happier and less traumatizing start to motherhood. Becky Vieira, the mom behind the popular Instagram account @WittyOtter, provides actionable advice for new parents on what to expect after pregnancy and how to successfully navigate the frustrations and challenges that come with having a baby. Vieira draws on her own experiences and interviews with moms and experts to get to the bottom of the toughest and most taboo topics—from managing nosey in-laws and an anxious partner to surviving the first postpartum poop and when to seek out treatment for postpartum depression. This book is filled with hacks, tips, and tricks that only the most seasoned—and enlightened—mom knows. (Ever hear of a condcicle, an ergonomic ice pack for a battered nether region?) Vieira reminds listeners that motherhood shouldn’t be martyrdom, and a new mom who puts her needs first often isn’t selfish at all.

With its combination of practical advice and the signature humor that made Vieira a hit on Instagram, Enough About the Baby makes a perfect baby shower gift for first-time moms.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Struggled to finish

It often felt more like someone’s journal of ranting rather than helpful advice or parenthood preparation. I struggled to finish it.

I couldn't finish it.

Honestly made me feel more anxious about birth and motherhood. I had to stop listening to it.

Couldn’t finish

Glad I could return it. Even if the narration wasn’t over the top and kind of obnoxious, it wasn’t relatable. Didn’t realize this wasn’t really for new moms as much as for scaring pregnant people.

MUST READ

If this book would have been out when I was pregnant, my postpartum life would have been a lot different. This book touches base on literally everything that needs to be communicated and discussed with your partner, family, friends, and within yourself! Anyone who is thinking of becoming pregnant, currently pregnant or about ready to have their baby needs to read this and get a great dose of the real struggles that new parents go through. I cannot wait to recommend this to others!
