'MAMAS - WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. YOU'VE GOT THIS!' Emma and Marie LouiseFrom the first day at home with your new baby to the day you blow out that first candle, Emma and Marie Louise are here to help keep you sane and supported.Baby Spice, mum of two and Kit and Kin founder, Emma Bunton, shares her stories and tips from her sons' first years alongside expert guidance for thriving in modern motherhood from The Modern Midwife, Marie Louise.Emma reveals her highs and lows, from the first days at home, recovering from a caesarean and v-birth, breastfeeding, worrying about rashes and marks (including chronic eczema - the reason she launched Kit and Kin), a tongue-tied baby, burping and reflux, first weaning attempts, sleeping routines, crying that won?t stop, learning to read the signs, leaving the house for the first time and the anxiety and reality of going back to work (after 4 months Emma was back on stage as Baby Spice). Practising midwife, Marie Louise, tackles every common concern. Marie Louise shares Emma?s passion for skin-kind baby care and has a special interest in the developmental growth of babies. She offers no traditional developmental milestones and avoids one-size-fits-all parenting rules, instead giving you a selection of tried-and-tested solutions and techniques to help your baby develop and thrive in their own time.
