Get The World Ready For Bringing Baby Home shares the thrill and relief of new mums welcoming baby into their home for the first time. With so much to learn about sleeping, feeding and changing, it isn't easy. But mums can do it, and do it with all the love in the world.
Get The World Ready For Your Little One
"Dear Baby, welcome to the world. It's big, and scary, and wonderful, and terrible, and amazing, and I've tried to get it ready for you. Love, Mum."

Mums will pick up their little one when they fall down, and the little ones will learn to trust their mums to do so.
