BABY DAZE: Humorous and Honest Poems About Early Motherhood : 2nd Edition

Baby Daze is a witty, sentimental, candid and refreshingly honest glimpse into life with a newborn.

You will laugh and cry as you join Sarah’s journey from seeing the first scan, to the poonamis and sleepless nights. She shares her unconditional love as she discovers those precious smiles, gurgles and snuffles.

Written unexpectedly, while up for those 3am feeds, the poems are completely relatable, yet short enough to be perfect for sleep-deprived new mums.

“The scan and seeing the beating of your tiny little heart,

Knowing that it’s really only just the very start.

Growing ever bigger as you struggle to find room.

Feeling kicks and hiccups as you move inside the womb.

Hearing your first cries just as you come into the world

Beginning your life’s journey – soon to be unfurled.

The gripping of my finger with your tiny little hand

The feelings and emotions only parents understand.”

Baby Daze was recommended in ‘Mother & Baby’ magazine’s ‘3 of the Best Funny Books’ feature.

‘The poems perfectly sum up the raw emotion, the love and the learning curve that goes hand in hand with having a new baby.’
