All I read was "what to expect when you're expecting" as I went thru my pregnancy. As for other baby literature, I only read when I feel the need. For instance, when we were sleep training, I read a sleep training book, and only the chapter about the age range he was currently in.

As far as baby research, we do it on a strict need-to-know basis. I don't like stressing myself out about issues that might not even be problems for us in the future.

I read, "How to Have Your Second Child First" which I thought was an interesting read. I currently have the Bringing Up Bebe book out from the library, but haven't started it yet.

The happiest baby on the block...I wish I read it when I was pregnant. My baby was so fussy in the early months, until I read that book and did the S's, he completely changed.

The only books I've read so far are research-based...Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies? and What's Going On In There? Both are based on pre and postnatal body/brain development, not pushing birth choices or mommy shaming.

I don't plan on reading WTE because pretty much everyone I know who's read it has freaked the F out about something silly. It's like Web MD for pregnant people.

I have a pretty big reading list already, so I can give you reviews of the good ones! (Of course, everything I'm reading is in line with my birth and parenting plans, so a book that's good for me could be useless to you)

I read Bringing Up Bebe, which I really enjoyed because it was more of a story of someone's experience rather than a parenting method. I watched the Happiest Baby on the Block (DH called it sorcery :-P), and I'm planning to read Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child because it comes highly recommended. I've also been browsing around the Dr Sears Baby Book, but I've just been skipping around to subjects that interest me.
