Overview
Expecting a baby or raising a little one can feel overwhelming, and this four-book parenting collection walks alongside you at every stage. From the earliest weeks of pregnancy through toddlerhood, these trusted paperback guides combine medical insight, real-world experience, and warm encouragement. Sarah Ockwell-Smith's gentle parenting philosophy sits alongside the globally recognized What to Expect series and Lucy Atkins's candid, humorous take on new parenthood. Together they cover pregnancy milestones, newborn care, sleep, feeding, and the emotional rollercoaster of becoming a parent.

About the Books
This collection brings together four trusted voices in pregnancy and early parenting into one convenient paperback set. What to Expect When You're Expecting guides expectant parents through the physical and emotional journey of pregnancy, from morning sickness and prenatal appointments to birth planning and postpartum recovery, all in a reassuring, easy-to-navigate format. Its companion, What to Expect The 1st Year, picks up where pregnancy ends, translating pediatric guidance into a month-by-month roadmap covering feeding, sleep, milestones, and newborn care through the first twelve months. Alongside these sits The Gentle Parenting Book by Sarah Ockwell-Smith, which shifts focus to the toddler and preschool years, offering a compassionate, boundary-based approach to discipline and tantrums without punishment or shame. Rounding out the set is First Time Parent by Lucy Atkins, a witty, honest companion for the sleep-deprived early months, tackling feeding, crying, exhaustion, and the emotional adjustment of new parenthood. Read individually or as a continuous journey from bump to toddlerhood, these titles complement one another, offering evidence-informed guidance and the reassurance that every parent has faced the same questions.
