Cocktails at Naptime A Woefully Inadequate Guide to Early Motherhood

There are secrets that no baby book will tell you, stories that no parenting magazine will even touch with a set of forceps. And that's a shame because out of postnatal nastiness and the human struggle with sleep-deprivation, couch stainage and perineum bruising, comes forth humour; lots of it. Read about how the Mothers of History dealt with getting their figure back, discover how to transform your partner into a sex symbol using only household bleach and a pair of rubber gloves, and find out how to recognise (and avoid becoming) a stereotypical Mummy From Hell. COCKTAILS AT NAPTIME is a hilarious look at those first twelve months (from birth to back-to-work) and the antidote to the 'how to' parenting manuals and the glut of 'girlfriend' books. It gives you a hug, a tip or two and the nod to have a big glass of chardonnay.
