Before you succeed at parenting, you want to succeed as a couple! Baby Bomb is the resource you want when a new baby turns your life—and your romantic relationship—upside down.
A baby is a blessing—and also a completely life-altering event. If you’re like many new parents, nothing could have fully prepared you for the exhaustion of late-night feedings, the explosive diapers, the evaporation of your free time, the pure joy, and the moments of pure terror. In the course of these hazy, early months, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. And when you’re overwhelmed, it’s easy to put your romantic relationship on the back burner. But, more and more, research shows that with a purpose to be the best parents you’ll be able to be, you and your partner want to make certain that your needs—as a couple—are also met.
Written by a psychologist and relationship expert, Baby Bomb offers powerful tools based in psychology and neurobiology that can assist you and your partner co-parent and co-partner as a solid and supportive team—even as also cultivating mad love for each other! You’ll find more than just “tips” for better parenting and partnering; you’ll discover how a protected-functioning relationship is essential for raising happy, healthy kids.
This isn’t a book with advice about how to have a romantic candlelit dinner even as your baby is screaming in the other room. It’s a road map for getting on the same page about your expectations as parents, about your needs as humans, and about how to care for a strong and lasting relationship in the face of, well, a baby bomb.
