...practical, unemotional and just what women at the end of their tethers need

I just can't praise her enough

There is something awry in the world of breastfeeding. There is too much guilt and not enough practical, proven advice. I, therefore, take the unusual step of recommending a book - What To Expect When you're Breastfeeding... It might just save a mother and baby you know needless suffering

This book should be handed out with the first contraction. Buy this book!

every new mum should have one

There is so much rubbish talked to new mothers about breast-feeding...Clare takes away the old wives' tales, the nonsense and guilt, and makes the whole process work as it is meant to

A true Bible

a lifesaver...common sense advice that is not pompous or judgemental

Bravely reveals the frightened daughter inside the grown-up wife and mother

The stars of this memoir - a daughter and her devil-may-care dad - believe laughter is curative. They will make you believe, too

More complex - and funny - than one would ever imagine ... It's a candid account of a woman unafraid to reveal the scared, jealous, and immature sides of herself while painting a portrait of her rollicking, fun-loving Irish Catholic parents and brothers who bolster her, and the husband who understands and loves her

Corrigan infuses her prose with vivacity and humor. She explores that process called growing up, and how it can happen in a defining moment, like a lightening strike, but also how it is illuminated in less dramatic ones, like flickers of heat lightning in a summer sky
