The Unicorn Baby - Debunking 10 Myths of Modern Parenting (Paperback)

Honest and hilarious - not your run-of-the-mill parenting book! If you have read parenting books or searched the Internet for parenting tips you have most likely stumbled across the mythical Unicorn Baby. This is the baby who feeds every four hours and sleeps through the night, sits at six months, pees pure gold and poops rainbows. Whether this baby exists or not does not matter. What matters is this: you did not get this baby. If you are looking to answer the question: "Is my baby normal?" then you are in the right place. Roxanne Atkinson uses her professional experience as an occupational therapist to identify and debunk ten modern parenting myths that cause all kinds of anxiety for new parents. The aim is to help parents understand why their baby may not be behaving as they were told they would. Acknowledging that every baby is unique, this book helps new parents navigate the first year and shares some fascinating stories of other real-life babies.
