This 312-page book features 100 contributors representing various races and ethnic backgrounds, genders, abilities, socio-economic backgrounds, and experiences, each lending their wisdom and insight on parenthood.This book can not tell you how to raise your baby, because no one can tell you how to do that. This book is meant to be a supplemental guide to your own inner voice, your gut, and the relationship you build with your baby as they grow. It's meant to be a reminder that the parenting community is huge, and no matter what those parents look like or where they come from, we all share a united goal—to raise happy, thriving humans.With over 100 contributors of varied backgrounds, nationalities, and parenting experiences, this book is full of stories and advice for parents who are navigating the first year of parenthood. The authors in this book are not writers, and most of them are not parenting or childhood development experts. They are simply people who have raised babies and learned something valuable along the way—from breastfeeding, diaper bags, or screen time, to caring for a sick baby, dealing with postpartum depression, or navigating parenthood after a separation or divorce. Whether you read this book cover to cover or jump around to what matters most in that moment, take a deep breath and remember you are not alone and you've got this.
