Infant care book recs?

ShandaB · May 2011

I was wondering if anyone has or is reading a good book on infant care? I've checked out Amazon and there are a ton of books but I was hoping to get some real life recommendations. TIA!

The book I found to be the most helpful was Dr Sears The Baby Book. I don't necessarily agree with a lot of his philosophies but this was a good book. It's huge but I have gone back to it time and time again when I have questions.

I really like this book by the American Academy of Pediatrics. DH and I have both been reading it and have enjoyed it so far. I actually got it for free from my grocery store as part of their (Publix) baby club program! I noticed it has many great reviews on Amazon.com as well.

We took a Baby Care class yesterday and the instructor recommended this book:

Caring for Your Baby and Young Child, 5th Edition: Birth to Age 5
by American Academy Of Pediatrics

https://www.amazon.com/Caring-Your-Baby-Young-Child/dp/0553386301/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305473953&sr=8-1

I flipped through it in class and it looks like it has a lot of good topics. We'll probably be buying it.

We've been getting the laugh and learn series from netflix. It's not about everything, but shows how to give a bath and breastfeed.

I have the book the PPs were listing and What to Expect: The First Year. The WTE book was really helpful when she had symptoms and such I could just flip to the index and find it. I never sat and actually read the book but was a great reference.

I just bough Your Baby's First Year by the American Association of Pediatrics. I posted on 0-3 looking for recs and it came highly recommended.
