Anyone have recommendations on baby and parenting books? I'm looking for a good read

Attached at the Heart is a good one - it's written by the founders of Attachment Parenting International.

Someone here recommended "Playful Parenting" and I'm so glad I read it.

Loved BabyCalm for a new baby book. I'm currently reading Hold on to Your Kids, which is an excellent attachment theory book.

Playful Parenting, Our Babies Ourselves (not really a how-to book but really good).  Are you looking for any specific type of info?

Attached at the Heart, The Baby Book (Dr. Sears), The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding (2010 edition). Beyond the Sling is a great one for picturing the ins and outs of daily AP life.

 

As toddler time and beyond hits: The Emotional Life of the Toddler, Unconditional Parenting, Playful Parenting, How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, The Continuum Concept

 

"Like" Attachment Parenting International and Aha Parenting on FB for good articles and links.

Thanks everyone I'm really interested in attachment parenting and I think having these as resources will really help.

We picked up Dr. Sears' "the baby book" on a whim and it has become so helpful from day 1.

I picked my copy up at a yardsale for a quarter.  I knew that was the direction I wanted to go, so I left it laying around for DH to read.  It's the only one I have in the house.

Not really a parenting book per se but The Scientist in the Crib is a great book on child and human development.
