What Are Some Great Pregnancy And Parenting Books?
I already have the “What to expect when you are expecting” series, what else was useful for you?
What books on parenting have been worth buying for you?
What about pregnancy books? Which ones could you not live without?
My husband and I are first time parents and need some direction! Thanks!

I would also recommend the “follow-up” book
What to expect the first year.
Lots of really good info, insights, tips for new parents…That way when your in a panic at 2:am you can use the book as a reference and find out what you though was a “calamity” is a perfectly normal or regular thing…

For parenting, I suggest- the baby whisperer books.
One is, ” Secrets of the baby whisperer: How to calm connect and communicate with your baby” and “The baby Whisperer solves all your problems, by teaching you to ask the right questions”
Also, “Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.”
We’ve used things from all 3 of these books and our son is a very happy, well adjusted child. Hoping that by starting like this, things will continue to progress and his teenage years may not be too much trouble.

There are a series of books called ‘What To Expect’. One is when your expecting, then there is the first year, and the toddler years. They helped my wife and me tremendously with our little one.

“What to Expect When Your Expecting” and “What to Expect the First Year”. These are the only books I used that I would recommend to anyone. I read some others, but I can’t really remember any of them.

How To Make Children Mind Without Losing Yours, by Dr. Kevin Leman
The Dr. Dobson books are good too.
