Please recommend some good baby books?

My husband and I are trying to conceive and I am reading just about anything I can get my hands on. I am especially interested in books about home birth and alternate pain management. Can you tell me what book was the most helpful to you? Thanks so much.

  • I have read both "What to expect when....." and "UP the duff"

    Both rubbish really. I found What to expect really patronising, and unrealistic. old fashioned rubbish

    Up the duff was funny, but gee I got over the woman whinging, plus she called The Aba (Aust. Breastfeeding assoc) nipple nazis, and had nothing to do with homebirth or the like

    "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering" is a fantasitc read.

    I found that Dr. Sears "The Baby Book" was the best for my husband and I

  • 1 decade ago

    ahhhhhhh, yay! home birth. didn't have one, but I approve.

    dr. sears' the baby book was wonderful for me. it is very pro-attachment parenting, which falls along the same lines of home birth, natural birth, breast feeding, not letting your baby cry it out, etc. I'd recommend it. you can check out his website to see if you like his ideas.

    "What to Expect" is unscientific garbage...

    It doesnt deal so much with birthing...but the book "baby wise" by gary ezzo was my favorite....very helpful for getting your baby on a schedule and all that.
