The Mum Code

Nobody gives you a manual for becoming a mum.

Instead, you are handed a tiny human and expected to figure things out as you go.

That is why The Mum Code takes a slightly different approach.

Each challenge faced by new parents begins with a completely ridiculous "DON'T". These are the wildly unnecessary solutions you definitely should not try, from consulting a team of koala experts to investigate a clingy baby to delivering a 433-slide presentation on the benefits of sleep.

Alongside every humorous illustration is a practical "DO" containing useful, sensible parenting advice for real-life situations. Covering common newborn challenges, everyday worries and those moments every new parent experiences, The Mum Code combines humour with genuinely helpful guidance.

Whether you are dealing with night feeds, first baths, nappy changes, unsettled babies or simply wondering if you are doing it right, this book is designed to make you laugh, feel reassured and pick up practical tips along the way.

Inside you'll find:

• Funny illustrated "DON'T" scenarios for common parenting challenges
• Useful and practical "DO" advice for real-life situations
• Reassuring guidance for new and first-time mums
• Relatable moments every parent will recognise
• A thoughtful alokay categories

Because sometimes the best way to learn what to do is to start with what not to do.
