Summary
Details

From the first cry in a freezing operating theatre to the first birthday cake smashed with unapologetic joy, 21 Firsts is a candid, laugh-out-loud, and heart-squeezing memoir of a baby's first year, and the making of a mother.

Swapna Das takes you through the real milestones, the ones Instagram doesn't show. The midnight formula debates. The cradle your baby hates with fiery passion. The first sneeze that turns into a twenty-minute giggle-fest. The mango-bath mealtime disasters. The Walker Formula 1 years. And the small, terrifying moments where you learn to trust your instincts more than anyone else's advice.

Blending honesty with humour, 21 Firsts reminds you that there's no such thing as a perfect parent, only a present one. Whether you're expecting, deep in the newborn trenches, or reflecting years later, this is your gentle, witty companion for surviving and sometimes thriving through the most chaotic, beautiful, and messy year of your life.
