How to Change the World (or at Least a Diaper) On Two Hours of Sleep.

You're a brand new mommy, and now you-and newbie dad-are entering the steepest learning curve of your lives. Exhilarating, yes. But just like other really steep curves (think roller coasters), new mommyhood can throw you for a big loop. For such a time as this comes O For a Thousand Nights to Sleep. From one young (ish) mom to another, here is the skinny on bringing up baby. In the few lucid moments your sleep-starved brain allows, you'll have a few good laughs and get the eye-opening scoop on:

· The 24/7 Stupor thing (or life as a walking zombie)
· Getting you and baby more sleep (it can be done!)
· Breastfeeding for Dummies (and no-guilt bottle-feeding)
· In-law overload (not to mention handling your own well-meaning parents)
· The soggy bottom boys and girls ( or changing 1,000 plus diapers this year)
· 10 Post-partum Lust Busters (and how to rev up your love life again)
· and much more!

You may have embarked on motherhood with gauzy visions of cooing and cuddling dancing in your hormone-addled brain. In this book, Lorilee delivers the message that it's OK when the other stuff -the harder stuff- happens. In fact, you wouldn't be normal if you didn't have episodes of frustration over post-baby flab, interfering mothers and mothers-in-law, and preternaturally orange sweet potato stains.

So whether you are a first-time mom or a "mom again," Lorilee cheers you on and helps you make the most of this wondrous, wacky year of your life: baby's first!
