Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs two trusted names in early parenting guidance. First-Time Parent offers warm, honest support for surviving a baby's first year, while Baby Food Matters delivers evidence-based nutrition advice from leading child-feeding researchers. Together they form a reassuring toolkit for new mums and dads navigating sleepless nights, feeding decisions, and everything in between, making this collection an ideal gift for expectant or first-time parents.
About the Books
First-Time Parent, by health journalist and mother-of-three Lucy Atkins, is a candid guide that dispenses with unrealistic manuals in favour of real-life reassurance. It walks new parents through the overwhelming first day home and the months that follow, covering sleep, feeding, routines, and self-care with warmth and humour rather than rigid rules. Atkins answers the questions every new mum and dad actually asks, making it a book readers return to again during the early months.
Baby Food Matters is written by Dr Clare Llewellyn and Dr Hayley Syrad, academic researchers who have between them published over 100 scientific papers on child nutrition. The book cuts through conflicting advice and family myths, translating peer-reviewed research into clear guidance on weaning, portion sizes, fussy eating, and building healthy habits for life. It covers the crucial "first thousand days" from pregnancy to a child's second birthday, giving parents confidence to make informed feeding choices grounded in evidence.
About the Authors
Lucy Atkins is a health journalist and author who writes for The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and The Times Literary Supplement, drawing on her own experience as a mother of three. Dr Clare Llewellyn and Dr Hayley Syrad are academic psychologists specialising in child eating behaviour and obesity prevention research; both have authored peer-reviewed scientific studies on infant and toddler nutrition, bringing that expertise into accessible, practical guidance for families.
Why You'll Love This Set
Honest humour meets hard science in this pairing, giving new parents both emotional reassurance and trustworthy nutrition facts in one bundle. It's a considerate, ready-made gift that supports parents through the exhausting, exciting first year and beyond.
