Simplified New Parent Survival Guide

Before you succeed at parenting, you need to succeed as a couple! This is the key message of Baby Bomb, a resource designed to help new parents navigate the life-altering event of welcoming a baby, while also maintaining their romantic relationship.

The arrival of a child is undoubtedly a blessing, but it can also be a completely transformative experience. Many new parents find themselves unprepared for the exhaustion of late-night feedings, the explosive diapers, the evaporation of free time, the pure joy, and the moments of pure terror. In the midst of these hazy, early months, it's normal to feel overwhelmed, and it's easy to inadvertently put the romantic relationship on the back burner.

However, research increasingly shows that in order to be the best parents possible, couples need to ensure that their own needs as a partnership are also met. Written by a psychologist and relationship expert, Baby Bomb offers powerful tools grounded in psychology and neurobiology to help parents co-parent and co-partner as a solid and supportive team, while also cultivating a deep, lasting love for each other.

This book goes beyond simplistic "tips" for better parenting and partnering. It delves into the essential role that a secure-functioning relationship plays in raising happy, healthy children. This is not a book about how to have a romantic candlelit dinner while your baby is screaming in the other room. It's a roadmap for getting on the same page about your expectations as parents, your needs as individuals, and how to maintain a strong and lasting relationship in the face of the "baby bomb" that has just exploded in your lives.

The key is to approach parenting and partnering as a united front, drawing on the unique strengths and perspectives that each partner brings to the table. Baby Bomb provides practical strategies for effective communication, conflict resolution, and prioritizing self-care and couple-care amidst the demands of new parenthood.

By following the guidance in this book, couples can learn to navigate the challenges of early parenthood while also deepening their bond and ensuring that their relationship remains a source of support, intimacy, and joy. Ultimately, Baby Bomb equips new parents with the tools they need to succeed not only as caregivers, but as partners – because the health of the couple relationship is fundamental to the wellbeing of the entire family.
