Mom records her baby's milestones, but what about her own? Where is the celebration of mom's transformation?

Beginning with one-day-old mom, who may feel like she is learning a new language,

Mom Milestones is a love letter to the myriad ways moms grow and adapt to motherhood. Here are significant firsts: First sleepless night. First walk with baby. First mom friend. Skills learned—how to soothe baby (sometimes); how to coax a preschooler

into taking medicine. Mom's likes (adapting pop songs to lullaby format; gathering intelligence from other moms) and dislikes (emptying the lunch box with mystery smells; requests for video games). There's Bedtime: The Board Game; crafts mom enjoys (no glitter or glue, thanks!); and the ABCs of motherhood (E for ennui).

While there might not be a road map for motherhood, Mom Milestones tracks both the memorable and slightly forgettable guideposts along the way—sunrises, snack plates, cuddles, laughter, and astonishment—because, as the saying goes, the days are long, but the years are short.

妈妈会记录宝宝的里程碑，但她自己的里程碑呢？庆祝成为母亲的活动在哪里？

刚成为母亲时，她可能觉得自己在学习一种新的语言，《妈妈的里程碑》是一封写给妈妈成长和适应母亲身份的无数种方式的情书。这里有一些重要的**次：**个不眠之夜、**次带宝宝散步、**个妈友。有各种技能需要学习，包括如何安抚婴儿；如何哄孩子吃药。有妈妈的喜好（将流行歌曲改编成摇篮曲的形式；从其他妈妈那里收集情报）和厌恶（用神秘的气味清空午餐盒；要求玩电子游戏）。还有睡觉时间玩的棋盘游戏；妈妈喜欢的手工艺品（没有闪粉或胶水）；以及做母亲的基本常识（E代表厌烦）。

书中可能没有教你成为母亲的详细指南，但它记录了新手妈妈一路上令人难忘和易忘的过程——日出、点心盘、拥抱、笑声和惊奇。正如一句话所说，日子很长，岁月很短。
