From TV presenter Holly Willoughby comes the refreshingly accessible and nurturing parenting guide that all new mums are looking for. With three children of her own, Holly knows that one-size-fits-all parenting doesn't work. So she's written a book that offers guidance and tips drawn from her own experiences in a way that is a calm guide through the chaos. Holly's book will encourage parents during their first twelve months of parenthood to trust their natural instincts and to care for their children in their own way, confidently and happily. Whilst she acknowledges the benefits a good routine can bring, she most importantly, wants you to listen to your mummy intuition to know what's best for you and your baby. We all have it, we just need to learn to tune into it. With chapters on feeding; sleeping; lifestyle and looking after you, Truly Happy Baby: A practical parenting guide from a mum you can trust (It worked for me!) will reassure and empower you to raise your baby happily and healthily in the first twelve months' of parenthood. Packed with achievable, practical advice and full of the ideas, techniques and tips that helped her throughout the first year of her babies' lives, Holly will hold your hand through the exhausting bits and share in the brilliant bits, too. This is the friendly and accessible approach to parenting that will see you through the sleepless nights, concerns and worries, to all the magical first moments and more.

Praise from Mumsnet mums:
`It contains absolutely everything you need to know about a new baby and what to expect, in an easy to read, friendly, non-patronising tone.'
`I absolutely loved this book. This is a must-buy for parents to be.'
`Any parent-to-be will find this invaluable, I really can't praise it enough.'
`It was very refreshing to read a totally non-biased and non-judgemental account from a real Mum. Not a childless expert or breastfeeding advocate or textbook dictator but someone who has been there and who knows every child is different.'
`As a Mum of soon-to-be 3, I was feeling apprehensive about adding another to our growing brood! However, reading this book has reassured me that there are no wrongs or rights, and to go with the flow.'
`It's written in an honest, down-to-earth manner and is well laid out with easy to follow chapters. Holly writes about her experiences in an endearing way but also provides a balanced opinion.'
`I was impressed with this book, to the point that I would recommend it or give it to an expectant mum as a gift.'
