The Sh!t No One Tells You: A Guide to Surviving Your Baby's First Year - Paperback

by Dawn Dais (Author)

"Dawn Dais bravely goes where other baby books don't.... She spills the truth about everything from breastfeeding to getting along with your partner post-baby." -- Parents Magazine

There comes a time in every new mother's life when she realizes that all the pregnancy well-wishes and baby shower gifts left her profoundly unqualified for the realities of life with a newborn. Who knew there would be so much crying--and how much of that crying would be coming from the mom?

Bestselling author Dawn Dais believes that a vast conspiracy exists to hide the truth about parenting from expectant mothers for fear that if the truth got out, women would (1) stop having babies or (2) stop bringing them home. Eschewing the adorableness that oozes out of other parenting books, Dais offers real advice from real moms--along with hilarious anecdotes, tips, and the encouragement every new mom needs to survive the first year of parenthood.

Revised and updated with new chapters offering advice for single moms and tips for partners, The Sh!t No One Tells You is a must-have companion for every new mother's sleepless nights and poop-filled days.
