I bought myself a new book today 'What Mothers do...especially when it looks like nothing' by Naomi Stadlen

'Have you ever spent all day looking after your baby or young child - & ended up feeling that you have 'done nothing all day'? Do you sometimes find it hard to feel pleased with what you are doing, & tell yourself you should achieve more with your time?Maybe its because you cant see how much you are doing already'

I have been trying to hunt it down for a while after i read a review of it on Waterstones website. I think it would make a great gift for any new mother & although i havent read it yet i know im gonna enjoy it

'if you are a mother, & have ever felt... that nobody understands what you do all day, overwhelmed by your feelings of love for your baby, tired all the time, that nothing prepared you for motherhood, uncertain what your baby seems to want, short tempered with your partner... you will find this the most reassuring book you have ever picked up'
