Why Daisy's Guide?

The baby questions nobody tells you to ask. Who's in the delivery room. When people meet the baby. How you'll split the nights, the money and the in-laws. Most couples settle them at 2am, with a newborn in one arm.

Daisy's Guide for Soon-To-Be Parents is 51 conversations to prepare you for parenthood. The book asks the question, so neither of you has to bring it up. You each answer, you compare, and you find out where you differ while there's still time to talk about it.

No lectures. No "one right way." Dr. Daisy gives you her take, and the two of you decide what works for your family.

How it works

  1. Pick a conversation

    Start with whatever's keeping you up.

  2. You both answer the same questions

    Read Dr. Daisy's take first. In the workbook you write side by side; in the paperback you talk it out.

  3. Compare, and talk it through

    Discuss where you differ, learn why you agree, then write down what you decide.

We already talk about this stuff.

Great! You're ahead of most of us. This isn't a replacement for those talks; it's a shape for them.

Each conversation asks you both the same specific questions, in writing, before you compare. That's how couples who agree on the big picture discover they never got to the specifics: who's in the room for the birth, when the grandparents visit, who gets up at 3am.

And it brings up the 51 that don't come up on their own. See the full list:

My partner isn't a workbook person. Will this work?

Then this is built for them! Each conversation is a few minutes: a scale, a checklist, a line at the end. Nobody has to write an essay, and the book is the one asking, not you.

And if one of you would still rather read and talk, that's what is for.

When should we start?

Whenever you're ready. Couples have started it before they were pregnant, in the third trimester, and with a six-month-old asleep on them.

The earlier you start, the more of these you get to have while you're both still well rested.

Hello, I’m Daisy!

I’ve been a pediatrician for more than 20 years, and I’m Medical Director of the Mother-Baby Unit at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, where families spend their first days with a new baby. I’ve seen which conversations parents wish they’d had sooner.

When my first grandchild was born, my daughter Esha had so many questions. She knew her younger sister would have the same ones someday, so we started writing everything down. That’s how Daisy’s Guide began.

A few of them, in their words:

  • It had the questions we needed to answer, but it wasn’t me prompting the question directly to my husband.

    Nicolette G.

  • The book we didn’t know we needed - until we realized how different some of our answers were!

    Meghan C.

  • Isn’t prescriptive but it urges you to come up with a way that works for you as parents
