Story
Being a mum is an incredible journey, a remarkable experience that changes how we look, how we feel, who we are. As mothers we are strong, protective and proud. We feel a love like no other. But being a parent can be hard, too. It challenges us physically, mentally, emotionally. There are the days where just managing to fit a shower in amidst the endless feeding, entertaining young children and surviving on a lack of sleep feels like an achievement.

There were many things that Hollie McNish didn't know before she was pregnant. How her family and friends would react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on a stomach. These were on top of the many other things she didn't know about babies: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a member of the audience; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. But Hollie learned. And she's still learning, slowly.

This is not a parenting manual. This is real life. The Unmumsy Mum writes candidly about motherhood like it really is: the messy, maddening, hilarious reality; how there is no 'one size fits all' approach; and how it is sometimes absolutely fine to not know what you are doing. The lessons she's learnt while grappling with two small boys - from birth to teething, three a.m. night feeds to toddler tantrums, soft play to toilet training - will have you roaring with laughter and taking great comfort in the fact that it's definitely not just you....

Cowritten by Montessori Toddler author Simone Davies and fellow Montessori educator Junnifa Uzodike, The Montessori Baby draws on the child-led principles of the Montessori educational method to foster a first year defined by love, respect, understanding, and a surprising sense of calm. Maria Montessori observed that all children have what she called “an absorbent mind”, ready to drink it all in, and that the role of parents is to mindfully assist in their learning and development.

Summary
Based on the Mumsnet best badge 2016 winner, Truly Happy Baby.
Whether you've just had a baby or you're about to welcome your new little bundle into the world, you probably have a lot of questions.... I know I did! And I also know from firsthand experience with my three babies that one-size-fits-all parenting doesn't work. So this audiobook is to help you find out what will work for you and your baby when it comes to feeding, sleeping, well-being, lifestyle, and looking after yourself.
I've included information and friendly advice I wish I'd been given before I became a mum for the first time alongside some shortcuts and tips that worked for me. I hope this audiobook will empower you during your first 12 months of parenthood to trust your own mummy intuition and to care for your children in your own way - confidently and happily. We all have that intuition; we just need to learn to tune in to it!
This audiobook will equip you with the know-how you need to get you through the sleepless nights and concerns to all the magical first moments. It's the ultimate collection of things that worked for me as a new mum - and I hope it works for you, too. Love, Holly xxx
While the author has made every effort to ensure that the information contained in this book reflects NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and NHS guidelines at the time of publication, medical knowledge is constantly changing, and the application of it to particular circumstances depends on many factors. This audiobook is intended as a reference volume only, not as a medical manual. The information given here is designed to help you make informed decisions about you and your baby, and it should be used to supplement rather than replace the advice of your doctor or other trained health professionals. Therefore it is recommended that a qualified medical specialist is always consulted for advice. The author and publishers cannot be held responsible for any errors and omissions that may be found in the text or any actions that may be taken by a listener as a result of any reliance on the information contained in the text.

Not what it claims to be
This reads like a baby manual, it reels off boring step by step instructions for things like how to make a formula bottle, how to breastfeed a baby, about nine different nap schedules etc - really not riveting listening and all available elsewhere from more knowledgeable sources.
What I wanted from this was anecdotes and stories for what she tried and found worked for her but there's very very little of that (despite it being the title of the book!).
Overall a very dry listen.

Honest, easy listening
Really enjoyed this book. As an expecting first time mum I found the advice helpful and honest. Putting some fears and my mind at ease for worries I had and meeting societies expectations.
Holly's voice was also lovely and easy to listen to so far enjoyed it more than some American or robotic sounding books I've tried listening to previously.
