I've found that it's so much simpler and faster to read online. Kellymom.com is my favorite BF resource. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265694 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:29:18 +0000 cvbee 265694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: I'm more of a google-everything kind of person, but the one I hear about most frequently is the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. I suggest the breastfeeding book because I have found that although I have had an amazing experience and very few complications, it is the thing I was having to read about most frequently in the first 3 months. Now it's sleep training (which you should read about before you have to 'train' and then maybe you don't have to even train them!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265654 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 12:54:44 +0000 Weagle 265654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked The Baby Book. I also have Baby's First Year from the Great Expectations line... it's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265651 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 12:51:25 +0000 Sammyfab 265651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr. Sears' The Baby Book is really comprehensive even though I'm not too into attachment parenting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265628 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 12:24:03 +0000 boiledpnut 265628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! Any other suggestions?</p> <p>@cvbee: Is there a bf book you'd recommend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265396 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 08:57:11 +0000 IcebergMom 265396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Healthy Baby, Healthy Sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265394 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 08:53:02 +0000 cvbee 265394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You will probably end up wanting to read a book about sleep...maybe all of them. Seriously.<br /> If breastfeeding, you might want to read a great book about breastfeeding before and then again during the first year.<br /> You might also want to read a book about introducing solids, depending on the route you want to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265310 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:10:45 +0000 hellobeeboston 265310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question! I have been wondering what book to get as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265300 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:25:07 +0000 TubeAlloy 265300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the American Academy of Pediatrics' "Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-for-the-first-years#post-265296 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 06:07:34 +0000 boiledpnut 265296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What books are good for what to expect the first year(s)? I'm looking for something with general guidelines, milestones, etc. I know there is "What to Expect the First Year", but surely there are others. :) Thanks! </p>
