Becoming a Mother and Staying You
The shock of motherhood can hit with the force of an avalanche, and for many new mothers it can be an overwhelming experience.
'Baby Daze' is the latest and most accessible of the recent books on first-time motherhood. 'Baby Daze' doesn't shy away from exposing and discussing the downside of new motherhood: the loneliness and isolation, the despair born of sheer exhaustion. But it also happily celebrates the upside: loving as you have never loved before. As Erina Reddan says, mothers are heroes! It's just that, until now, only mothers knew this.
In her own gripping narrative of experiencing motherhood, and in a series of interviews with other mothers, Erina Reddan maps some of the emotional territory of motherhood. Chapters cover such topics as sleeplessness, loss of identity, ambition and confidence, relationships, friendships and what the men say, as well as more practical areas such as breastfeeding and childcare.
