I'm still looking for other books, so any suggestions would be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-pregnancyadvice-books-for-mom-and-dad#post-11383 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:50:42 +0000 Ms.Bucky 11383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you plan on breastfeeding "Breastfeeding Made Simple" is an awesome read that I took up when I started hearing how HARD breastfeeding is. I hope to be able to do it successfully, because I am really cheap ;) I haven't been able to apply my newfound knowledge, yet, so I can't evaluate it on that end, but it is both informative and empowering.</p> <p>I also second Ina May Gaskin for anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-pregnancyadvice-books-for-mom-and-dad#post-11381 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:49:14 +0000 looch 11381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved Baby Bargains! I got that in a Kindle edition so I could reference it on the go!</p> <p>If you plan to breastfeed, anything by Ina May Gaskin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-pregnancyadvice-books-for-mom-and-dad#post-11374 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:39:39 +0000 Rock n Roll 11374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Be Prepared is really more funny than informational. (I think it's a good gift to get a guy when his wife is pregnant, but more for fun than to actually learn anything.) I bought my husband The Expectant Father and he never read it.</p> <p>I really liked the Mayo Clinic guide to pregnancy, and everyone always seems to love Happiest Baby on the Block (although I didn't have a lot of success with it- my daughter never took a pacifier and hated swaddling.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-pregnancyadvice-books-for-mom-and-dad#post-11361 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:23:07 +0000 HabesBabe 11361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, MrsJazz!</p> <p>I was thinking about ix-naying the Pregnancy/Month-by-month book and getting the Mayo Clinic Pregnancy book instead.</p> <p>I don't plan on getting any of the "What to Expect..." books because I've heard they're all pretty crappy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-pregnancyadvice-books-for-mom-and-dad#post-11011 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 17:29:35 +0000 mrsjazz 11011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Natural Hospital Birth is a great book! I highly recommend getting this book if that's the route you are looking at for your delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-pregnancyadvice-books-for-mom-and-dad#post-10971 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 16:45:51 +0000 HabesBabe 10971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently have 7 books in my Amazon shopping cart, but was hoping that you ladies had some advice about your favorite baby books. I already bought the Pregnancy Journal last week and have been reading/updating daily. I don't want to go overboard and buy ALL of these, but I have a feeling I'll be hitting the check out button pretty soon...</p> <p>FOR ME:<br /> --The Pregnancy Book: A Month-by-Month Guide Tag: Everythg.
