About this listen
WARNING: This book contains scenes of extreme sleep deprivation, discussions of bodily fluids that would make a medical examiner blush, and language that reflects what mothers actually think at 3 AM (not what they post on social media at noon).
From the moment your precious bundle of joy turns your body into a 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffet, you'll discover that "nipple confusion" isn't just a breastfeeding issue—it's the perfect metaphor for your entire existence as a new mom: painful, puzzling, and nobody seems to agree on how to fix it.
Remember when you thought maternity leave would include afternoon naps and catching up on Netflix? *laughs in postpartum hormones*
In this collection of hilariously honest essays that document the author's journey through the trenches of early motherhood, you'll discover:
- The precise moment when you realize your boobs have developed their own zip code, personality, and weather patterns
- How to survive a diaper blowout in a public restroom with only two wipes and the shattered remains of your dignity
- The evolutionary purpose of babies who only sleep when held at a precise 47-degree angle while you perform a specific bouncing-swaying motion (spoiler alert: it's to prepare you for negotiating with terrorists)
- Why "I showered today" becomes an achievement worthy of a medal, parade, and possibly a national holiday
- The mathematical impossibility of "sleeping when the baby sleeps" while also doing laundry, eating food, maintaining basic hygiene, and preserving your last remaining brain cell
This book won't help your baby sleep through the night or solve your breastfeeding challenges. But it will make you feel less alone when you're crying over spilled breast milk at 4 AM, wearing the same unwashed nursing bra for the third day, wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again (spoiler: you will, but that self now comes with significantly lower standards for what constitutes "clean hair").
Buy this book if you've ever hidden in the bathroom just to eat a chocolate bar in peace, if you've fantasized about running away to a hotel just to sleep uninterrupted for four consecutive hours, or if you've ever looked at your angelic sleeping baby and thought "I would die for you but also please stop waking me up."
This is your tribe, and we've been waiting for you—slightly disheveled, probably leaking, and ready to laugh at the beautiful mess that is keeping tiny humans alive.
Note: May cause spontaneous laughter-crying. Not recommended for reading during pumping sessions (milk sprayback onto electronic devices not covered under warranty). Contains language that grandmothers who "never had these problems" may find shocking.
