Mommies are Stuck with Being Scientists



A Smarter Way to Understand Your Baby Every parent hears the same thing: “They don’t come with a manual.” Instead, new parents are flooded with advice—much of it contradictory. Mommy Science offers a new approach. Blending heartfelt storytelling, evidence-based insight, and practical problem-solving, Mommy Science invites parents to approach the newborn stage with curiosity, confidence, and a dash of scientific thinking. Rather than memorizing rules, parents learn how to observe their baby, experiment with solutions, and discover what actually works. Because babies are already doing exactly that. From their earliest days, babies observe the world around them, test their environment, and learn from the responses they receive. They are constantly running tiny experiments—about comfort, communication, sleep, and connection. Mommy Science shows parents how to recognize that process while it’s happening—and how to work with it instead of fighting it. Part field guide and part love letter to the early days of parenting, this book helps mothers and fathers navigate sleepless nights, big emotions, and baby mysteries with equal parts humor, heart, and hard facts. Because babies aren’t confusing. They’re scientists.
