Synopsis

The upheaval of pregnancy and new motherhood can often trigger the development of, or a relapse into, an eating disorder. This book supports pregnant women and new mothers struggling with changes in food, body image, sleep, spirituality, work, breastfeeding (or not), new motherhood identity, and postpartum depression or anxiety.

Combining professional expertise, personal experience, and pragmatic suggestions, it is the ideal guide for women who are trying to balance recovery with new motherhood. The author offers recovery tools, support strategies and wisdom on how to make time for self-care while navigating the chaos of early parenthood. Most importantly, this book will help women let go of perfectionistic ideals and embrace being good enough during the massive learning curve of new motherhood.
