Your baby’s first year, one stage at a time.
The Motherhood Map is a calm, practical guide for the months between the newborn days and the first birthday. It shows you what to prepare, what to think about and which questions are worth asking, so you can swap some of the 2 a.m. scrolling for something that feels like clarity.

What it feels like
Somewhere between the third parenting article and the fourth opinion from the group chat, you realize you’ve collected a lot of advice and very few answers. Everyone means well. Very little agrees. And the question you actually have, the one about today, is somehow the one nobody covers.
Five minutes of play? Press the button.
Babies learn through tiny, ordinary games. Pick your baby’s age, press the button and get one simple idea, no special toys needed.
Pick an age, then press the big button.
Each idea takes a few minutes, uses things you already have and is one you can do lying on the floor.
Sample ideas from the Map. Every baby develops at their own pace. Always supervise play, and choose safe, age-appropriate items with nothing small enough to swallow. Educational only, not medical advice.
Six stages, one at a time
The Motherhood Map divides the first year into six clear stages, from the newborn weeks to the first birthday. Each stage comes with its own focus, checklists and questions, so you’re always looking at what’s relevant now instead of a 300-page book you’ll never finish.
-
Months 1–2
The newborn weeks
What to keep within reach, who to call for help, what to ask at check-ups. And a page for you.
-
Months 3–4
Finding a rhythm
A loose daily rhythm rather than a rigid schedule.
-
Months 5–6
Growing curiosity
Play, routines and your space. Prompts, not homework.
-
Months 7–8
When the routine changes
The pattern shifts (it will). A calm way to review your days.
-
Months 9–10
Moving and exploring
More movement, more mess, more questions.
-
Months 11–12
Approaching the first birthday
Look back, write down what you’ve learned. Yes, there’s a page for celebrating yourself.
What’s inside the Map
- 12-month roadmap divided into six stages
- Practical checklists for each stage
- Routine ideas for sleep, feeding and daily rhythm
- Prompts for looking after yourself so you’re not the last thing on your own list
- Planning pages with space for notes and questions
A gentle checklist for the first days at home: what to keep within reach, who to call for help, what to ask at the first check-ups. Plus a short page on looking after yourself, because you’re recovering too, and that matters.
Sample content from the Map.
Who it’s for
For expecting moms who want to prepare without being buried in lists. You’ll get a clear sense of what’s worth doing before baby arrives and what can wait until you’re actually holding them.
Notes from other moms
“I opened it at 3 a.m. during a week when everything felt out of order, and having a chapter that said ‘here’s what matters right now’ helped me stop spiralling.”
“I printed the checklist and stuck it on the fridge. My partner used it as much as I did.”
