More copies of this ISBNThe Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhoodby Vicki Iovine
Staff Pick
Tired of all the parenting books with simplistic solutions and misleading information about how demanding the first year really is? Then this book is for you. The author is not a doctor or an expert — instead, she writes from her own experience as a mother of four. Lovine, in her own helpful and humorous manner, tackles the big issues, like how much sleep you'll miss or how hard it can be to breastfeed. Written with candor and wit, The Girlfriends' Guide honestly portrays just how difficult and challenging parenting can be.
