Parenting Books

I know we discussed this awhile ago but I've noticed in the "what have you been reading threads" that many more people have been reading these so maybe they will have different opinions then before or more people will chime in.

It has recently come to my attention that, although I read allll the pregnancy/birth books, I haven't picked up any for when I actually, you know, have the baby, which is coming right up. So if you could pick the best one or two that you have read, which ones would they be?? Thanks!

    The "Baby 411" books are great resources for FTP (it covers developmental milestones, normal diapers, and things to look out for). "Daddy Boot Camp" is a great one for dads (it details specific ways to interact with baby at different stages and ways they can be involved with baby care).

    I will echo the recs for Weissbluth's sleep book, and Baby 411. I also like The Baby Book by Sears.

    The No-Cry Sleep Solution and The Sleep Lady are good alternative perspectives on sleep. I actually read and tried both of those, but we had the biggest sleep improvement after Weissbluth. 

    Baby 411 is a good quick reference, and The Baby Book is more in-depth/encyclopedic and written from an attachment parenting perspective. 

    I am finding Jo Frost's Toddler Rules an easy and extremely useful read also. Far better IMO than Happiest Toddler on the Block, although the 5 S's of Happiest Baby on the Block were useful for soothing when DS was a newborn. (You can just Google that though and find enough info to try those methods without buying the DVD or the book.)
