You read all the birthing books, took the Lamaze classes, and made it through labor (mostly) unscathed, but now the baby is home--and it's a whole new ballgame! There are plenty of books and resources about how to properly care for your new baby, but what about caring for yourself? Maria Lianos-Carbone, founder of AMotherWorld.com, outlines the "proper care and feeding" of mothers during their baby's first year with humor and honesty. From the physical and emotional changes a new mom will undergo to rekindling intimacy with her partner,Oh Baby! Mom's Survival Guide for the First Year keeps the focus on moms--because you can't draw water (or breastmilk, for that matter) from an empty well. Maria's straight-talking, no-nonsense approach will give new moms everything they need to survive as they embark on the journey of motherhood.
