Deep Breaths: The New Mom’s Handbook to Your Baby's First Year (Baby Book, Book for New Moms, Millennial Moms) Paperback – August 15, 2017

I love Michelle on YouTube and I couldn’t wait to read this book as a new mom! This book speaks to me on so many levels and gives me all the words of encouragement that I need. Michelle is a wonderful mother and I strive to be more like her when it comes to mothering my daughter! If I were to give a new mom book suggestions it wouldBe this one! Reading this book, you feel like you are her best friend and your have a real conversation about motherhood. This book is so relatable and let’s you know you are not the only mom out there struggling. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle and her book! Buy this book, it will be the best purchase you make as a mother!

I know this is going to post under my husbands name, but I am the wife lol and a mommy of three. From the moment I got this book, about a week ago, I have NOT been able to put it down! I already feel like I know the Author because I have been following her YouTube channel from the very first video! She is AMAZING.. I always wondered how does she do it??? Then she goes and writes a book (Thank you!) This book is great for first time moms, and all moms I believe. If you are sitting there and wondering why am I failing? Do I know who I am? What kind of mom do I want to be? Why do I feel alone and how do I get mommy friends? This book will speak to the heart of it! This book I believe is one of the best out there, because it causes you to take an inward (and sometimes, hard look) at your heart. I WISH this book was around when I was a first time mom.

I really enjoyed this book, and felt as though the author truly meant everything she was suggesting and writing. However, when I first purchased the book I was looking for more advice for brand new mothers - “how to’s” like breastfeeding, getting your newborn to sleep, etc. So although the book was encouraging and motivating, it did not answer a lot of these questions. Despite this fact, I am happy overall with having read this book.

I liked the book and the author wrote in a very easy style that seemed like you were just having a conversation with her. I felt the whole thing was a lot of common sense and not the advice I’m looking for my “new mom’s handbook for the baby’s first year” like the title suggested.

This was such a wonderful read, even for a mom who has children beyond their first year. My littles are toddlers, but there was so much wisdom in this book I could apply to my life as well. I’ve loved Michelle’s YouTube channel for a while now, and am so pleased that her book comes off as relateable and personable as she does in her videos. Some of the activities and recipes this book includes are an awesome addition, and I was actually able to read this entire book in a single afternoon (it was that much of a page-turner for me!) Highly recommend for all moms trying to raise up littles in today’s world.

Love Michelle on YouTube and was so excited to see that she wrote a book. After reading the title I thought it would not benefit me since my kids are 5ys old and 10yrs old. I was so wrong this book has make me look at motherhood in such a different perspective. She has been one of my greatest inspirations and this just showed me I am capable of doing just about anything!!! I have recently started my own YouTube channel and am looking forward to impide woman just as she has inspired me!!!!! Michelle thanks for taking the time to create this masterpiece!!!!!

Wish I had listened to the review that said this book was useless. Sorry to write a bad review but this book has nothing to do with babys forat year or being a handbook of any kind. Just ramblings and her own journey to becoming a blogger and mom.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a big fan of Michelle's on YouTube so I knew I would be. It is a quick fun read and talk about things typical mom books don't - self care, exercise, mental health, not losing yourself in motherhood and social media. Also definitely not only for first time moms in baby's first year. I feel like you get more out of it when you come out of that beginning fog. A very fun read!

Good quality book

I guess I expected a little more and that's why I'm disappointed. She repeats herself constantly and paragraph after paragraph she states the obvious. The composition of the content is pretty chaotic. I missed a certain eloquence in her writing. There was no content in the book that you couldn't have found on her YouTube channel. Just all the old stories.I give this book one star for talking about PPD and for her friend's recipe.

Unfortunately I found the book very dull, repetitive and giving incredibly trite clichéd advice. Nothing concrete. Nothing practical. Nothing that's not basically common sense.
