Before I became a mother I thought I knew everything. I was wrong. Becoming a mom made me doubt myself more than ever before in my life. All of the things I thought I knew about babies and myself just seemed to leave my brain. However, after talking to other mothers I learned that this was very common and I did in fact know a thing or two.
I loved reading The Mommy-Files because it reassured me that I was in fact a good mom and that trusting my instincts was sometimes the best thing for me and my baby. I learned a few new things but mostly was reminded to simply enjoy being a mom. I would totally recommend this book for any new mom.
