Ladies and gents, I am giving away Keep Calm: The New Mum's Manual, with an introduction by Jools Oliver, is the perfect antidote to inflexible, guilt-inducing parenting guides.

Includes:
*
Early days - looking after baby and listening to your instincts
*
Sleeping - establishing a flexible routine that works
*
Feeding - making the right, guilt-free choices
*
Soothing - understanding crying and settling your baby
*
Weaning - starting with a simple action plan for success

Development - identifying key milestones and not worrying
*
Health - recognising baby illnesses and when to call the doctor
*
Vaccinations - understanding the facts and getting them without tears

I read with an open mind! I believe everyone is different and what works for one, may not work for another!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to read and put some in practice and see what helps. Everyone different
ReplyDeleteThey sometimes have good advice
ReplyDeletei think i would read one xx
ReplyDeleteI think they can be useful - even if you only use snippets of information. Every baby and mama is different so there's no one size fits all style of parenting. You have to take what applies to you and the rest with a pinch of salt.
ReplyDeleteNot for us, by my sister is keen on them.
ReplyDeleteThey can be very useful especially for a first time mum who doesn't have other mums to give advice and guidance.
ReplyDeleteThere's no true manual, but a little help and advice doesn't do any harm!
ReplyDeleteBaby manuals have their place. but no book can address every child's needs.
ReplyDeletei think all advice is helpful
ReplyDeleteI believe they can support a mum but need to seek advice from elsewhere as well
ReplyDeleteits good to get a bit of advice x
ReplyDeleteNot really as a whole, but there can be some good tips

I dont' believe in them but i recognise that they have their value; there's always something to learn from others. All babies are different but there are some commonalities that baby manuals can be helpful informing one about.
ReplyDeleteI think they are a good idea for learning tips but in general I think mum knows best!

Great for advice but only you will work it out x
ReplyDeleteTake them with a pinch of salt. New theories every year and every child is different!
ReplyDeletei think they can provide reassurance, and good to dip into for ideas to try, especially if you've not had much previous experience with babies and children.
ReplyDeleteNo I hated them - but this looks like a good one for a friend whos about to be a first time mum.
ReplyDeleteI believe they are helpful if you want some advise
ReplyDeletevery open minded, sometimes its nice to have a little guidence
ReplyDeleteA few misgivings, mothers instinct goes along away along with advice from other mothers and parents
ReplyDeleteNot Really, Prefer advice of mum's
ReplyDeleteEvery baby is different sometimes manual advice applies sometimes it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteManuals are very useful, although you often get inundated with peoples views whatever the situation!
ReplyDeleteYes they are invaluable for both new and experienced parents.
ReplyDeleteThey can be useful but they should only be used as a guide, what works for you is the best way

Good advice is always an asset, but instinct plays big part too.
ReplyDeleteThey can be useful but you have to consider how the advice fits into your life
ReplyDeleteManuals can be helpful, as a guide. As information is vast, and changes at a rapid rate. So it is good to have up-to-date resource, reference, information regarding appropriate websites etc.
