I like the Steve Biddulph book but think it would be more helpful for older children rather than babies.

My favourite parenting book of all time is "The Science of Parenting" by Margot Sunderland. Although it doesn't provide specific suggestions for routines etc, it does provide an awesome amount of information which I've found to be a huge help when making decisions around sleep/feeding/behaviour. It's based on the latest neuro-science and for me, it just makes sense. I have teamed this up with Pinky McKay's "Sleeping Like a Baby". DH is really enjoying The Science of Parenting too.

One other book I would recommend is "The Attachment Connection" by Ruth Newton. The book is based on attachment theory - the first half explains attachment theory and some of the science behind it (easy read - nothing too heavy) and the second half takes you through stages from birth to 4 or 5 years explaining how your child's brain is developing and how as a parent we can help 'foster a secure attachment, healthy social skills, and emotional regulation'.

Sorry I can't help with any of the others you've listed. There are so many parenting books out there - it can be terrifying trying to figure out where to start. Good luck!
