## Synopsis

The first year arrives faster than any book can prepare you for. Emma Whitmore organises it the way parents actually experience it: by the problem in front of you at 3 a.m.

Feeding, sleep, milestones, health and safety, budgeting, and self-care each get a clear, unhurried chapter with checklists you can act on half-awake.

No ideology, no shaming — just the specific, calm guidance of someone who has sat with hundreds of families through the same weeks.
