Poll: What book(s) have been the most valuable to you as a new parent?

For me, there are two: when DD was first born and collicky, Happiest Baby on the Block was a lifesaver!  (I bet this book will get a lot of votes.)  And more recently, the Sleep Easy Solution has been wonderful for DD's sleep (and me & DH's stress levels!).  What books did you use the most?

Honestly?  I ditched all the books and used Common Sense. 

Any issues that required more experience, I called the pedi.

Touchpoints is awesome!  I also use AAP's Your Baby's First Year for quick references.
