T
e Survival Guide for Rookie Moms
serves up a much-needed dose o com-
ort, reassurance, humor and wisdom. Lorraine and Erica, who survivedthe frst year and lived to write about it, hold your hand as you walk down
your own unique, uncharted path o motherhood. With humor, candor and
accurate inormation, this book reads like a girlriend’s guide but servesup the wisdom o a medical manual. As an OB/GYN physician, I wish I
had this book to swaddle into the baby blankets when I pass o a newborn
to the anxious new mother. And as a mommy, I wish I’d had this book toguide me through what they don’t teach you in medical school.
T
e Survival Guide for Rookie Moms
provides new moms with the best
support o all: the knowledge that others—MANY others—have experi-
enced the same trials, conundrums, conusion and loneliness that ofen
accompanies the frst year o motherhood. Tink o it as the best riend,
adoring mother, mentor, medical adviser, entertaining comedian and wise
sage you wish you had sitting on your shoulder during every moment o your baby’s frst year.

As a certifed nurse responsible or the care o inants and their new mothers,
I really connected with the content o this book. I ound the inormation
to be humorous, accurate and, most importantly, relevant. I would recom-
mend this book to any o my patients and, as a mom mysel, I can’t wait toget a copy or my own enjoyment.

Finally! A book that is as unny as it is accurate. New moms will tone their
tummies rom laughing as much as rom exercising. I applaud Lorraine and
Erica or encouraging women to ease back into ftness rather than jumpback in—postpartum moms need to hear this message. I love all the coreexercise ideas. Tey are simple, realistic and you can do them anywhere.
Best o all, they produce results. Also, thank you or talking about
diastasis
recti
! I get so many questions about this in class and it’s great to see it covered
in this antastic book or new moms.
