I think I referred to it every day for the first 6 months and every other day after that.

Specifically books that are "how to" for the first year. I've NEVER been around babies, never changed a diaper, never even held a baby for longer than a few minutes so I'm really starting from zero. DH is in the same boat.</p> <p>Help! :shocked: </p>
