PRAISE FOR THE ZEN MAMA GUIDE

“From bruised bottoms to breastfeeding success, Teresa and Sarah always keep it practical, purposeful, and very, very real. Zen Mamas is a great guide to hold in your hand—and inspire you—as you begin along the path of new motherhood.”—Dr. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block, inventor of SNOO

“This beautiful book aligns with my own mothering style of ‘meeting the needs when they arise,’ and I couldn’t put it down. I can see this book soon being a staple on all new mamas’ nightstands.”—Krysten Ritter, actor and author

“While there are plenty of pretty photos of hippie chic coauthors Sarah and Theresa with their tow-headed tots walking along beaches and playing in gardens, it’s the personal insights on tough mothering issues these good friends share with readers that makes The Zen Mama Guide so special. The two address such sensitive topics as infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, difficulties with breastfeeding, sleep problems, discipline, and more in a reassuring, straightforward, and nonjudgmental way. This is the perfect gift for your expectant sister, friend, coworker, or daughter—or even you!”—Glynis Costin, West Coast Bureau Chief, InStyle magazine
