I have a lot of good pregnancy books, but I am interested in some baby books about baby care, baby gear, sleeping, etc. I can't BF, so I don't need recommendations of any books about BFing.Thanks girls!
The first one I used A LOT in the first few weeks after we brought Piper home. I looked up everything and anything! lol
The second is fun just to see what they say about development and what's going on with your baby every week. I take it with a grain of salt though because, and they will remind you every week, all babies are different so I don't use it as a bible of what she should be doing. Also the chapters/weeks can be a bit all over the place in their topics (week 5 started with a whole thing on adoption then jumps to baths and then to swings...very random!) and some of the advice makes me say "Um..yeah" (like when they tell you, again in week 5, to tell baby "She's safe with you" when she's upset...week 5 was an odd week I'm noticing lol). But it really is a good book I think.

I have Blue Cross Blue Sheild insurance and they sent me the Good Housekeeping one for free. Some of the pictures are dated, but there is some good information in there.
