Staying Mum

Becoming a mum is an incredible journey that
will change your life forever, but not always in
the way you expect ...

Mara Lee's Staying Mum tells it like it is, offering
valuable advice about how to stay sane during that first year when,
among other challenges, you'll be required to master the art of
breastfeeding with bursting bazookas, bottle-feeding without a
guilt chaser and settling your newborn baby to sleep on next to no
sleep yourself.

Featuring expert advice and seriously useful tips, Staying
Mum breaks the code of silence about life as a new mum by
revealing the truth about the good bits, the bad bits and, yes,
even the ugly bits.

Whether you're expecting your first baby or you're an
experienced mum who's ready to look back and laugh, go no further
than Staying Mum for a hilarious but practical account of the most
exciting challenge most women will ever face.
