I really don't think I can learn how to parent my child from a manual! If I see a method in a book and it doesn't work on my child, it makes me feel that much more frustrated. I do however rely on HB a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1184244 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 10:07:27 +0000 Alivoo01 1184244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skimmed through the book the OB gave me, and flipped through What to Expect, but never fully read either. I hawked HB like crazy though and took in all the advice you ladies give! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1184173 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:49:58 +0000 illumina 1184173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a week by week pregnancy book, though I didn't get as far as reading about labour because it scared me! I have a new parents book too which I've skimmed through and referenced from time to time. Mostly I rely on HB or google for a relevant site, such as kellymom or troublesome tots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1184030 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:20:05 +0000 loveisstrange 1184030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I own the SuperNanny books too! lol. I totally forgot I had them. Maybe I need to read them.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1184027 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:19:20 +0000 Cherrybee 1184027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I devour baby books! I bought What to Expect when you're Expecting, The Dads Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies and the Mongan Method books for pregnancy/birth info. Then for parenting I bought the Super Nanny book, The Secrets of the Baby Whisperer and the Wonder Weeks book. Im about to invest in a couple of sleep books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1184007 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:14:29 +0000 loveisstrange 1184007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read some pregnancy books, but have yet to read any parenting ones. Someone gifted me The Honest Toddler, but I read about 3 pages of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1184006 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:14:27 +0000 artsyfartsy 1184006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Mm somewhat a parenting book. Mostly just has some good points I found interesting and plan to keep in mind for the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183999 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:12:17 +0000 autumnlove 1183999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read a bit of Baby 411. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183974 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:03:32 +0000 yin 1183974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I read What to Expect and printed out a bunch of documents online prepared in a binder for reference. After LO was born I read a breastfeeding book, which helped a lot. This was all before hellobee of course. ;)</p> <p>With my second I don't have time to read over any material. I figure I've done this once before. There's not much that can prepare me for taking care of two but the actual experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183958 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:59:16 +0000 Weagle 1183958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: I did read Bringing Up Bebe, though I never considered it a parenting book... Though I guess it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183943 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:56:06 +0000 LovelyPlum 1183943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't read anything yet, which is weird, because I normally do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183939 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:55:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 1183939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started What to Expect, and thought it was awful and negative. Stopped and swore not to read another. I did read Jenny McCarthy's book (hillarous) and my Week by Week of where the baby was. that was good enough for me, and no parenting books, I think I know what's best for my girl &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183895 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:46:15 +0000 artsyfartsy 1183895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really enjoyed Bringing Up Bebe. I read it before I was even TTC. During pregnancy I've read Ina Mays Guide to Childbirth which I found incredibly informative and now I'm finishing up her guide to Breastfeeding. I love to read an fill my head with as much knowledge as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183874 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:42:23 +0000 Weagle 1183874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skimmed through some. Now I am starting to read more parenting books, but they're typically Christianity based. I want them to address my heart issues as well as helping me think about how to address LO's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-read-pregparenting-books#post-1183821 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:32:43 +0000 mrsjyw 1183821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up a couple that I bought and was gifted. But, never read through them all fully.</p> <p>I mostly used Dr.Google, Hellobee, and friends to tackle parenting! </p>
