Hollie Smith is the author of 10 successful parenting books including First-time Mum. Hollie is a parenting author and she's also a mother of two.
'I love how Holly writes- I felt like reading it I was sitting
chatting with a friend having a cuppa in a cafe- it's not preachy,
it's full of helpful advice and there's enough it'll help you make
your own mind up. It's also an easy read, as I remember those early
days, and actually reading anything was a task in itself... I wish
this book had been available when I was pregnant....Highly
recommended by us!'
