Book Review: “Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms” (& Giveaway US/CAN Ends 5/9)

Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms: 101 Inspirational Stories of Joy, Love, and Wonder

By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Susan Heim
416 Pages (Paperback)
Date Published: March 8, 2011

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Becoming a mom is the most amazing event. Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms will delight new and expectant moms with its heartwarming and humorous stories about raising babies and toddlers. This book is full of stories by other moms sharing the wonders of early motherhood, from waiting for the baby, to those early weeks and first few years, and everything in between!

MY THOUGHTS:

Even though I am not a first time mom, I liked this book.  It is full of great stories about being pregnant, breastfeeding, sleep, doubts, adoption, infertility, toddler years and more!  There really is at least one story that every mom can relate to.  As I have two kids and am pregnant, I forgot things and feelings of having a new baby and I loved reading stories from other moms.  Reading other mom’s stories just make me laugh, smile, feel like I’m not alone and hopefully learn from their strength.  There are some sad stories, but they are real and show strength and courage that only a mother can have!  This book would be great for new moms, a baby shower gift, or even a mom like me who already has kids!

    Hmm… a tip? For breastfeeding: Around 6 weeks, your baby will go through a growth spurt. Your baby is NOT starving and is getting enough to eat. Don’t supplement with formula or your milk production will not rise enough to keep up. Just figure your little one will be attached to you 24/7 for a while and know it will end sooner than you think!

    My tip would be to take lots of pictures, & to try not to worry if the dishes need to be done etc. Babies grow up so fast!

    Diane L. says:

    If a relative comes to stay with you for a few days after your new baby arrives, don’t be afraid to speak up and give them assignments. Let them know what they can really do to help you out.

    Suz says:

    Enjoy your time with your little one. At times you may wish that they were done with this or that like diapers but when the time actually comes and they start to grow up, you’ll miss those earlier times.
