Hi,
I have a list of books (about 10) that my ob recommends. Of course I'm not going to buy or read them all - but I was wondering if anyone had them, or had heard of them? Were they good? Would you recommend them too?

Or are there other books out there that you would recommend for a 1st time mum and dad, who are complete baby novices!

I really really hope to breastfeed and I was told by a midwife who I met at a Christmas party, that even if I did not do any prep for the labour and birth, she felt that the most important thing I could possibly do was to learn/read as much as I could about breastfeeding. So if you know any books etc about that...I would appreciate the recommendation.

I did look around on BB and could not find a thread about books...if there is one, and I am in the wrong place; please point me in the right direction.

TIA
Jo
