I appreciated reading different views and ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendation-to-read-before-baby-arrives#post-345900 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:15:47 +0000 brownie 345900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happiest Baby on the Block.<br /> I also liked the Supernanny baby book. She tells you it is normal to feel absolutely crazy.<br /> We also read Attachment parenting by Sears, Babywise and Baby Whisperer but they didn't work for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendation-to-read-before-baby-arrives#post-345580 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:29:39 +0000 prettylizy 345580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second happiest baby on the block. </p> <p>Other than that, read something fun. It's been months since I've had time to sit and enjoy a book that isn't about whatever parenting obstacle I'm currently trying to overcome </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendation-to-read-before-baby-arrives#post-345575 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 19:26:03 +0000 cvbee 345575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read Baby Whisperer and it made me feel really prepared and exposed me to a lot of important ideas (even though I don't follow much about the book now). </p> <p>I wish I read the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. I still might. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/book-recommendation-to-read-before-baby-arrives#post-345357 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 17:10:38 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 345357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, thanks ladies!
