Moms - recommened a good baby reference type book
What do you have that you have found helpful?
Re: Moms - recommened a good baby reference type book
I relied on What to Expect the first year w/my son, and just recently picked up a used copy of Dr. Spocks Baby and Childcare book. What to expect helped w/figuring out illnesses and signs and symptoms, etc early on. The Dr Spock book is huge and has alot of good info in as well. Oh also forget that I have Touchpoints by Dr. Brazelton. This was a gift from MIL. She is always buying me books to help w/DS and current symptoms he has.
I also have a few freebies that you will most likely get from your pedi or in the hospital in regards to the first year and breastfeeding (if you decide to go this route).
I have other toddler books as well, which are most likely not what you are looking for at the moment.
Based on other recommendations on here, I am getting the Baby Whisperer and the Toddler whisperer from Paperback Swap.
The Mother of All Baby Books, Ann Douglas. (it's like it's coming from a well-intentioned aunt, not an alarmist).
The Wonder Weeks taught me a ton, but it's out of print and $80 or more now. But honestly, worth the expense. It's about developmental leaps and how you as a parent, are not actually insane.
I try to read First Year Week by Week each week and WTEThe First Year each month.
I also liked - for myself - This is NOT What I Expected
{My Connecticut Wedding Photography Site}
Baby 411 (good reference book)
What to Expect the First Year
The Girlfriends Guide to the First Year (for you)
I had The Baby Whisperer and hated it (but that's my opinion, other people have found it helpful)
I prefer www.thenest.com
LOL
i am way to lazy to read a book, i dont have to go out and buy it and i prefer multiple opinions versus that of only one author.
hahaha
