And yes, I thought I remembered hearing that about Baby Wise, good to know!<br /> Thinking Happiest Baby might end up on my Kindle this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953605 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 15:39:47 +0000 Boheme 953605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: My doula ordered me that book and it should arrive this week! I'm glad to hear that it worked for someone!</p> <p>I like Baby 411. It's very comprehensive! I don't advocate for Baby Wise at all. Our pediatrician strongly discourages the practices described in that book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953589 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 15:31:11 +0000 googly-eyes 953589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: we did that too! </p> <p>I think the best advice for the newborn period is "just get through it." ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953165 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:56:46 +0000 aprk 953165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happiest Baby was definitely helpful</p> <p>I really liked Your Self-Confident Baby which really is more of a parenting philosophy than just newborn care </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953149 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:51:24 +0000 sslm 953149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby Wise wasn't for me, it was all, schedule your baby's feedings! Don't feed on demand!</p> <p>I like The Baby Book, it's like an encyclopedia and we consult it all the time when we think Maddy is doing something weird :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953132 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:49:00 +0000 Adira 953132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only read Secrets of the Baby Whisperer and it taught about the EASY method, which was soooooooooo helpful. It also gave tips for how to figure out WHY your baby is crying and what to try. Definitely worth reading! And getting Xander into the EASY routine was a life-saver!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953101 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:41:11 +0000 immabeetoo 953101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I didn't read it when LO was a newborn but hands down, "Becoming the Parent You Want To Be". It has a section about disequilibrium that I SO needed to read when pregnant and when in the newborn stages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953090 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:39:20 +0000 brownie 953090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes watch the happiest baby video. I personally really loved the Super Nanny parenting book. Kind of a middle of the road parenting. But she definitely pointed out the bad things such as not getting enough sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-953079 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:37:29 +0000 cmomma17 953079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: Just watch the happiest baby on the block video. Quicker than reading, and I thought it was really great. Wish I had watched it prior to the baby arriving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-books-for-newborns#post-952951 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:12:10 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 952951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little overwhelmed with the sheer number of books out there for parents of newborns. I've heard great things about Happiest Baby on the Block, Baby Wise, the No-Cry Sleep Solution, and about a million others (not *just* pertaining to sleep). </p> <p>Do you have any recommendations? What is the best book you read? </p>
