What books would you recommend for first-time mom's to read during pregnancy? I'm looking for any info on breastfeeding, baby sleep, developmental milestones etc. Any essential reads you'd recommend??

I just had my baby 3 weeks ago, and Ina May Gaskin's Guide to Childbirth was fantastic to prep for childbirth. As far as milestones and things go, I have Your Baby's First Year (Week by Week), and there's a chapter on each week for the first year of baby's life - SO helpful so far!

Smart to read them while pregnant- I got that advice a million times but still didn't and now I have no time!
Not sure what to recommend though.

@redsmarties: I have heard good things about the Ina May Gaskin book, too... Baby's 1st year sounds like a good one also!
@Foodnerd81: Who knows if I'll actually have the time or motivation to read them.. but I'm trying to plan ahead! haha

@MCD919: hey at least you will have them in the house when you suddenly want to know something!

I really liked the Mayo clinic book for baby's first year. I got it as a gift and its very useful
