Nurturing Your New Life

- Blurb -

Letting go of expectations and cultivating contentment in your new life. For many first-time mothers the expectations they have about motherhood come from idealised images on TV, in magazines or online. It's a far cry from what motherhood actually involves: lack of sleep, time and control - and total dependency on you by another. Becoming a mother brings extraordinary physical and emotional changes to a woman's life, but it also taps into deep instincts and joy. Heidi Sze's message is to surrender to the changes, reject the guilt and accept the imperfect reality of this new life. Adjusting expectations and being true to your unique needs will bring comfort, joy and peace that slavishly following rules, imposing unreachable standards and accumulating rooms of gadgets are unlikely to do.As women go through the profound transition of becoming a mother, it is crucial that they identify their support needs and trust their intuition. This book will help women do just that. Many people know Heidi from her blog Apples Under My Bed and Instagram account. Her special focus here on nourishment - with recipes for mothers and babies - will help mothers - and fathers - nurture with reassurance the new life in their hands.
