I have the latest edition of Baby411 - I really like how the sections in the book are set up, and it's a mix of question/answers, bullet points and short paragraphs so it doesn't take forever to read.

@Meggo5: I did buy What to Expect for a One Year Old (or whatever it's calleD) and "Healthy Sleep, Healthy Child" but mostly I used the internet for research.

This isn't a book, but I like the weekly emails from Baby Center. If you sign up, they send you a weekly email about what new things are happing with your LO that week. I work full time so I don't have time to read a book so the emails are nice cheat sheets.

Our ped highly recommends "Caring for Your Baby and Young Child".

We have Baby 411 as well--I have only scanned it, but DH is almost done reading from cover to cover and has learned a ton!

Our pediatrician gave out a handout at our prenatal visit and it had a list of recommended reading. The only one I got and have mostly read so far is Eat, Sleep, Poop: A common sense guide to your baby's first year by Scott Cohen. He is a pediatrician and wrote the book after he became a dad.

My husband has a few good ones for dads.
I don't have any to reference but did receive this as a shower gift and your title made me think of it:
