What Our Readers Think

This book is a fantastic resource for parents to have to hand. It has excellent, practical advice. I also have Louenna’s App on my phone which is another invaluable resource. Would also make an excellent gift for expectant parents, highly recommend!

A friend recommended the Louenna app to me and I used it during pregnancy. As a first time mum I find the book reassuring and interesting. I highly recommend this book and her app.

The book itself not only has this in age appropriate stages but covers things you don’t even think of. I also find her advice to be refreshing in comparison to other “baby experts” in the market who usually shy away from specific topics which she doesn’t do. The book is worth its weight in gold and I love to refer to it for my 9 month old twins.

I can't believe how much this book covers. Not your average baby book at all. What a wealth of knowledge inside, was very surprised to see how thick it was when it arrived! It's making my first year with baby very enjoyable. Highly recommend.

I found Louenna’s app invaluable in my journey as a first time mum and this book has been a really helpful addition. Having just one page to read a day makes it very manageable with everything going on…! Would recommend and will be getting them as gifts for my friends!

After following Louenna’s app, routines/recipes/basically anything you should need for your baby… I was so excited to receive this book. A bite size, page per day on what to expect and tips for your babies first year. I cannot stress enough how effortless it is to digest. It’s so easy for each day to become like Groundhog Day, but with ideas from play time to food it’s really so helpful. She’s a real life Mary Poppins!

Having already downloaded Nanny Louenna’s app, I wondered if I would need the book too. My baby was already 7 months at the time but having a day by day guide in addition felt like even more support in what can be unknown territory with a newborn and gave me the confidence boost I needed. Highly recommend this lovely book to any new mums, Louenna has so much experience, it’s a no brainer.
