There’s loads of fantastic advice, guidance and shared experiences for expectant and new mums out there, from books, online forums, midwives, health visitors, friends, family and organisations such as the National Childbirth Trust. What many first-time mums have told me they lack is neutral, non-judgmental support and someone to really listen and ask the right questions. No-one can tell you exactly how to get through the rollercoaster of the first year, but The Mother Mentor can help mothers work out what’s right for them, their baby and their family, and take "baby steps" towards getting there.
"It’s not all about the baby" may sound provocative, but the truth is you don’t stop being a person when you become a mother. It’s very easy for mothers to put their own needs way down the line with a new baby, when in fact your little one and your family will reap the benefits if you are getting the support you need to become a confident and calm parent.
