In hindsight I should have read more "oh crap what do I do with this tiny human" books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2414539 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 21:31:43 +0000 MrsF 2414539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one is really for after the baby is born, but I always give the book Baby 411 to my friends when they have their first baby. I literally ordered it from my hospital bed when my LO1 was born a month early and I realized I had no idea how to take care of her. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-411-Clear-Answers-Advice/dp/1889392510/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452306643&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+411" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Baby-411-Clear-Answers-Advice/dp/1889392510/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1452306643&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=baby+411</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2414531 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 21:25:51 +0000 MrsSRS 2414531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Bradley book is great if you're aiming for an intervention free birth. Baby 411 is a handy, easy baby guide written by pediatricians/moms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2414034 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 13:21:30 +0000 ms.line 2414034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn by Penny Simkin et al. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2414031 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 13:18:56 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2414031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a copy of this doctor'said office staple: <a href="http://shop.aap.org/Caring-for-Your-Baby-and-Young-Child-Birth-to-Age-5-6th-Edition-Paperback/" rel="nofollow">http://shop.aap.org/Caring-for-Your-Baby-and-Young-Child-Birth-to-Age-5-6th-Edition-Paperback/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2414029 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 13:17:48 +0000 MamaBear87 2414029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept feeling like this too but being pregnant made me lazy so I really just read and asked questions on here. The ladies are all super helpful. I did keep freaking out to my hubby in early labor that I had no idea what I was doing and how was I going to care for our tiny human. </p> <p>My lo is now 10 weeks old and flourishing! I had literally never held a newborn before I had her, other than thinking oh my good what do I do when they handed her to me were doing so well. When they get here you have help and you figure it out as they grow. </p> <p>Baby 411 does help assuage any freak out moments for me usually tho</p> <p>Eta I totally ramble but hopefully this was a bit helpful :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2414000 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 12:59:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2414000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dr Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding was helpful. I also liked having some kind of "The First Year" book on hand - I'd read about the coming month, just to get a sense of what to expect - I stopped doing it after a few months when I got comfortable but it was nice to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2413969 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 12:39:06 +0000 winter_wonder 2413969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/booksresources-on-childbirth-and-newborns#post-2413872 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 11:21:23 +0000 YogiRunner 2413872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23 weeks along with my first and starting to realize how clueless I feel about how this all works... I've got all the pregnancy books, but what about once the kid is ready to come out? Birthing plans (or lack thereof), what to expect at the hospital/what to bring, all that comes with bringing a tiny human back home like breastfeeding, sleep, ETC. </p> <p>Feeling a little overwhelmed! What are some of the best books or resources out there that helped you navigate bringing your first babe into the world (besides the wonderful world of HelloBee of course) :grin: </p> <p>Thank you ladies! </p>
