THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Hilarious best friends Cat and Nat created a massive online community of moms by sharing their ultra-real and just a bit R-rated dispatches from the mom trenches. From what not to eat a few days after giving birth (chicken wings) to the most effective ways to dodge post-partum sex, Cat & Nat’s Mom Truths shares everything no one will tell you about having kids.

Mixing memoir, humor, and advice, Cat and Nat tell never-before-told stories about the stress, guilt, joy, and laundry (oh the laundry!) of being a mom in their first book. With seven kids between them and millions of fans on social media, they get real about the parts of parenting that somehow don’t make the Instagram feed. Sharing their outrageous humor, fearless myth-busting, and genuine comfort on every page, they walk you from pregnancy to the toddler years and beyond. And they dole out ridiculously honest advice, like what you think you need at the hospital when you have your first baby (lip gloss) versus what you actually need (hemorrhoid pillow), and how worried you should really be about germs (less than you are). Fearless crusaders against the perfection myth and all the gluten-free, sugar-free baking it entails, Cat and Nat assure you that you’re already doing a great job, making this an essential companion for moms everywhere.

Critic reviews

“What do new mothers need the most? Sleep, for one. But after sleep, they need good friends, people to let them know they aren’t alone in this strange new world they are navigating. Enter Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer. . . . Their new book is funny, honest, and encouraging.”—New York Post

“Accept the chaos, embrase the mom bod and stress less about germs, among other things. That’s courtesy of Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer, friends from high school who reconnected as first-time mothers. Parenting books left them feeling like they already blew it, the writers said, so they looked elsewhere for affirmation.”—The Wall Street Journal

“With their Mom Truths that’ll resonate with overwhelmed moms everywhere, Cat and Nat tell you in a hundred wildly hilarious ways the easiest thing to forget, and the most important thing to remember: You’re already doing a great job.”—Dawn Dais, author of The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy: A Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth and Beyond

“Cat and Nat’s Mom Truths takes everything that’s scary about being a mom and makes it hilarious.”—Karen Alpert, New York Times bestselling author of I Heart My Little A-Holes

Giving moms hope!

This is a wonderful book. I wish I had read it when my kids were little. I have teenagers and the advice did not apply to me at this point in my life, but it did make some of the mommy guilt I have been holding onto start to fade away. These lady's make you see that messing up as a parent is okay and life will go on.

Relatable!

Such a fun listen! Nice reminder that we’re all on the same journey, just floating along in different boats.
