Summary

Pixie Saytar is the compassionate big sister we all need when navigating life with a new baby. Her honest portrayal of what it’s really like to become a mother will have you laughing, crying, and nodding along.

"A beautiful, modern, fresh, interesting and powerful book for any Mother" (NY Today)

Employing no taboos, no mom shaming, and no hard and fast rules, this book goes where no other baby book goes: to the heart of what it really means to make the transition from womanhood to motherhood (while elbow deep in diaper blow outs and smiling through unexpected visits from your in-laws). Celebrating variety and difference among mothers, steeped in a sense of camaraderie and togetherness, and packed with practical tips and encouragement, Baby’s First Year is as much about taking care of yourself as it is about taking care of your baby.

"No book comes close to this. An honest portrayal of the first year of being a mother, packed with more tips than all the other books I have read combined!" (Beth Riddens, entrepreneur)

This book will leave you uplifted, consoled, and entertained, while arming you with all the advice a new mother needs when she feels out of her depth.

"A stunning book and one we have no hesitation in recommending to all Mothers!" (Oz Mother Magazine)

Covering the entirety of your baby’s first year, this book focuses on the developmental milestones of both baby and mother. You will find tips on everything from postpartum recovery to surviving sleep deprivation, from soothing a fussy baby to introducing solids, and from navigating new relationships to managing household tasks now that you have zero time and even less energy.

"Simply put...this is the only book you will ever need as a new Mother. Buy it today. Buy a copy for your friends." (Nina Hynes, author and speaker)

Raising babies isn’t easy, but you aren’t alone.

Highly recommended for all parents

Another mum recommended this book to me. Decided to get it on audio rather than buy the book and I am glad I did. I gained a lot of knowledge from this book. All there advice was VERY up to date and current, unlike other motherhood books which can be very old fashioned and a bit patronising.
10 out of 10 from me.

No judging here...

Parenting is beautiful but it is NOT easy. I loved how this book didn't judge us as parents. We make mistakes. It's a very very honest but enjoyable read about parenthood. I learnt a lot more than I expected.

Motherhood guide

If you are a mother of a young baby (or you are about to) then you owe it to yourself and your family to get this book. That might sound dramatic but it is what I honestly believe.

A Refreshing Approach to Parenting - A Must-Listen

A Must Listen for New Parents!

I recently had the pleasure of diving into the audiobook "Baby's First Year" by Pixie Saytar, and I can't emphasize enough how much of a game-changer this has been for me as a new parent. In a sea of parenting guides that often feel outdated and overwhelming, this audiobook truly stands out as a breath of fresh air.

Pixie Saytar's "Baby's First Year" offers a modern, positive, and calm perspective on parenting that's sorely needed in today's fast-paced world. Say goodbye to the one-size-fits-all advice that can leave you feeling more confused than ever. Saytar's approach is relatable, relevant, and incredibly effective.

What sets this audiobook apart is its unique blend of practical advice and emotional support. Saytar covers all the essential topics of a baby's first year, from sleep and feeding to developmental milestones and self-care for parents. But it's not just about the what-to-do; it's about the how-to-do-it-without-losing-your-mind.

The audiobook's narration is a delight to listen to. The soothing voice guides you through the chapters with a sense of calm and assurance, which is a welcome departure from the often judgmental and anxiety-inducing tones of other parenting guides. I found myself not only absorbing the invaluable information but also feeling a sense of camaraderie with the author.

What truly shines is the absence of old-fashioned advice. In a world that's rapidly evolving, parenting techniques need to keep up. "Baby's First Year" is a beacon of modernity, addressing the challenges and realities that today's parents face. It's like having a trusted friend by your side, offering practical suggestions without making you feel like you're doing everything wrong.

Whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned pro, this audiobook will undoubtedly have you nodding along in agreement, laughing at relatable anecdotes, and sighing in relief that someone finally gets it. "Baby's First Year" is a refreshing reminder that parenting is a journey, and it's okay to embrace the imperfections and uncertainties along the way.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a parenting guide that feels like a reassuring hug rather than a lecture, "Baby's First Year" by Pixie Saytar is the audiobook you need in your life. It's like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day – comforting, uplifting, and impossible to put down. Give it a listen; your sanity and your baby will thank you!

This audible gem is the perfect blend of sage advice, modern wisdom, and just a dash of British charm.

Brennan Koenigsreuter's narration is a delight, making you feel like you're sharing parenting secrets with a dear friend over a scone. The book's realistic approach is a breath of fresh air - no sugar-coating, just practical tips for navigating the delightful chaos of babyhood.

What truly sets this audiobook apart is its modern, original, and uniquely effective advice. It's not just a rehash of the same old parenting tropes; it's a refreshing take on raising tiny humans in the 21st century. Several of my friends recommended this audiobook, and seeing the positive transformations in their parenting skills, I couldn't resist giving it a go. Let's just say, it's been a game-changer in our household.

In the grand tradition of British understatement, 'Baby's First Year' is like a parenting GPS, guiding you through the uncharted territory of baby-rearing with wit, wisdom, and a healthy dose of optimism.
