The main character of the book is a wealthy LA fashionista with a stingy, though supportive husband. They decide to get a live-in nanny, but since Lara is still nursing, she is unable to leave her baby for more than two hours at a time without resorting to the “S and M-like pumping bras” to collect milk for her daughter.
The journey from selfish, cynical valley girl to loving mom is the main storyline, but colorful characters such as the voodoo nanny, the estranged father with an ex-stripper fiancee, and “Mommunists” bring a lot of laughs to the party.
I highly recommend this book to all new moms, as well as anyone who is looking for something lighthearted and fun to read.
Tales from the Crib is the sequel to Notes From The Underbelly
