Recommended baby/parenting books? There are so many out there...

[Possums]

Hi everyone, there are so many books and so much conflicting advice on sleep suggestions etc that I am a bit overwhelmed....so any suggestions of books you found really practical and helpful much appreciated. DH and I want to start reading and learning a bit more, but just not sure where to start... I have a few pregnancy books, but I am now thinking ahead, about once the baby is here!

The one I think everyone should read is 'Parenting by Heart' by Pinky McKay.

I also love 'What every parent needs to know' by Margot Sunderland.

Pinky McKay is good. "Sleeping like a baby". "Parenting by Heart"

"Breastfeeding Naturally" The breastfeeding book from the ABA or another breastfeeding book.

"No cry Sleep Solution" is good, but prob won't be appealing unless you have sleep issues. try the library

"Baby Led Weaning"

I've got a few that are interesting to me now, so if you see 2nd hand copy grab it. -

"How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk"

"Children are people too."
