Hi everyone,
As a fairly new mom still learning the ropes, I found that I read a LOT of parenting books - I still do in fact. I asked my mom for a lot of advice too, but the range of books I read helped me to prepare for things, which was a godsend!
The 'tried 'n tested' books which helped me with stuff like sleep training and diet helped loads but I really loved reading Motherhood and Me by Lindy Bruce, as I was given a copy at just the right time. As all new moms will probably understand, those first few months really shift your life around, and sometimes you wonder if you will ever be able to enjoy a cold glass of wine and chocolates... with your feet up on the table, watching television and relaxing... sigh.
Anyway, that got me over that slump phase and is still proving a valuable resource.
What kind of helpful or fun parenting books do you all read?
