Survival Guide for New Mums

The survival guide is written by Raquel D’Apice, author of Welcome to the Club: 100 Parent Milestones You Never Saw Coming. During the writing process, we (at Wonderbly HQ) also revisited some of our best and worst memories of raising small people – interviewing every parent in the building and throwing in plenty of our own experiences. It’s warts-and-all, but it’s honest.

Yes! One of the best books for new parents on the market, Survival Guide for New Parents is special for lots of reasons, but especially because it can be personalised specifically for the new parents you have in mind. Not only can you design the avatars to look just like them, but you can also choose from eleven heartfelt Emergency Advice quotes that best suit the recipients.

We do. As well as gifts for new parents, we have gifts for new babies! If you’re looking for a beautiful book that celebrates a new baby’s name in the most charming way imaginable, we recommend When You Were Born. The baby’s name is introduced by a host of new pals from the animal kingdom. New parents will love it. Additionally, we have Your Treasury of Nursery Rhymes, a keepsake book that transforms a child into the hero of over 30 classic songs and stories.

We’ve got you. New motherhood is wonderful…but it’s also tough. Really tough. It can feel lonely and hectic and riddled with a feeling of failure. New mums need heaps of support and there are lots of things that can help. Aside from a new mum survival guide (of course), you might gift a new mum something simple that’s just for her: book her a massage, or send her flowers with a note telling her what a great job she’s doing. Ultimately, though, the best gift you can give is a sympathetic ear. Pick up the phone or pop round to see her. There’s nothing like just being there for someone.
