My third title for Netmums, Baby Sleep Solutions does exactly what it says on the tin.

Promising to be 'the only guide to tell it like it really is', and hailed by Mother and Baby magazine as 'down to earth' and 'everything a mum-to-be needs', this gritty, irreverent and at times really quite funny manual gives the honest, rather than the sugar-coated truth about pregnancy and birth. Well, hey, I've been there, I've done it, and I've got the (blood-stained) t-shirt. Buy a copy here.

Dealing with Difficult Eaters

Written with the help of two expert consultants, psychologist Sandi Mann and nutritionist Sally Child, this guide to overcoming kids' eating problems offers loads of practical advice, psychological insight, and, perhaps most importantly, plain old reassurance to parents with concerns about their children's dietary habits.

An often light-hearted self-help manual written from a very personal perspective, for parents like me whose kids regularly provoke struggles with their inner Hulk. (In other words: I wrote the book I wanted to read.) Buy it here.

A friendly, non-prescriptive guide to all the usual quandries faced by mums and dads during the pre-school and primary years.
