From A Press Release
Book Description

New moms want to know what really works! They already know motherhood is hard, even though well meaning friends and family try to soften the reality by telling them ‘it gets easier.’ While raising her family on both the east coast in Pennsylvania and west coast in California, Claudine Wolk found that new moms were most concerned with three very practical issues: how to get more sleep, how to get their baby on a schedule, and how to cope with the “mother-guilt” imposed by themselves and society at large. She decided to attempt the impossible – make Motherhood a bit easier!

Her strategy -employ a little humor and lots of practical advice. “Forget about playing nice and pretending that everything is normal and fine,” Wolk says, “Motherhood is hard! A new mom wants to know the insider secrets of new motherhood and what really works.”

It Gets Easier!...and Other Lies We Tell New Mothers presents a fun, honest, reflective and prescriptive guide for the new mother that will actually make new motherhood easier. Interviews with hundreds of moms and the author's personal experience, come together as this witty book breaks new ground with its honesty and humor mixed with practical strategies to give new moms a "leg-up" on the very often scary experience of motherhood. Through the conversation style, this book drives home the point that new moms are not alone and that there are some things they can try to make new motherhood a little more controllable and a lot more enjoyable. The index for easy reference and the resources for further exploration creates a valuable book to be read, and then read again as new mother ‘opportunities’ arise.

Over a period of 12 years, Wolk interviewed hundreds of mothers from coast to coast, gained insight from participants of her workshops, and blended that valuable information with her own experience to develop practical strategies that are actually doable for a new mom – strategies that can actually work. Her “new moms’ tools” including her famous baby schedule, workshops, websites, and many writings have helped thousands of women in their quest to expose the truth about motherhood and make it a bit easier!
