"Swaddled brings an important, moving and relatable message to the world of new motherhood. I saw in the stories that are so lovingly shared the experiences of many of my therapy clients, who feel guilt, shame and loneliness when their lived experience as a new mother does not match the image projected by society. It also reminded me of my own experiences as a mother; that it can be and is hard, that we all need community and connection, and that the challenges are temporary and ever-changing. A must read for all new mothers, and for those supporting and loving them." - Noelle McWard Aquino, LCSW, Psychotherapist and Author of Anxiety Unpacked: Discover Your Type and Recover Your Peace

"How do you learn to mother? Whether you are already a mother or about to become one, the mothers who speak to you through Swaddled reach out with guidance and kind encouragement. Read their stories, absorb their support, and pass it on. Mothering is an ancient human task, and as stated by one mother in the book, 'I actually don't think anyone is meant to mother alone.'" -Ann Jordahl, Counselor and Parent-Infant Instructor

"What a beautiful gift to know I'm not alone in my struggles as a new mama." - Malia, Stay-at-Home Mother of Two

"A healing read for every mother: new mothers in the trenches and those who've survived to thrive and look back with sweet nostalgia or maybe even a little doubt or confusion." - Camile, Working Mother of One
