The Actually Pretty Good Baby
The Actually Pretty Good Baby is a collection of common-sense wisdom, written by Susan Vukadinovic, an independent expert on the enjoyment of early motherhood by new mothers and parents of the 2020s.
With this ultimate beginner’s handbook to raising a baby you can breastfeed like any good attachment parent and then ease your baby into sleeping through the night like the best of the “we-still-go-out-for-date-night” parents. Because here’s a little secret: You don’t have to pick one or the other. You can do both!
Writer and new-mom coach Susan Vukadinovic has met with hundreds of mommas at pre-natal and new-baby workshops, and she has woven together their collective, common-sense wisdom in this new book for new parents of the 2020s.
Her writing has appeared around in the world in print and online, from The Globe and Mail in Canada to the Institute of Federalism in Fribourg, Switzerland.
In 2022 she was a recipient of The Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (Alberta) in recognition of her outstanding public service and dedication to education, children and community.
When asked about that honour: They gave you a medal? Seriously?
Here is what Susan had to say: Yes, seriously. A medal.
For all you mommas out there who've ever thought, Someone should really give me a medal, for everything I'm doing around here, this ones for you, ladies! I did it. I got my medal. And maybe one day, I hope, you will, too.
Susan currently lives in Calgary, in a tidy, green house, with her four favourite people and one incorrigible dog.
The Actually Pretty Good Baby is her first book.
Inside you’ll find tips for breastfeeding, sleeping and weaning to solids. And there’s a little bit more but not too much more because—let’s be honest now—you’ve got this. We both know you don’t need a comprehensive book that covers *everything*. This book covers just the big stuff, with parent-tested and parent-approved step-by-step instructions that will take you from pregnancy and the minutes after birth all the way to your baby’s third birthday.
With the right information and support, you can totally nail your new parenting gig.
