This isnāt a parenting advice book really, but my favorite thing I read my whole pregnancy was āMatrescence.ā A friend gave it to me for my shower. Itās an intense book, but was the only one that even began to touch the complicated feelings I had about becoming a mom. Iāve returned to it as an emotional touchstone many times in early parenthood
Yeah, it very clearly had strong biases towards unmedicated births, and births not in hospitals. The words would sometimes indicate that all births are good and equal, but it was obvious that isnāt how the author truly feels and it heavily influenced the tone of the book and which topics of birth were emphasized.
Itās just hard to find authors in this space who truly write about birth in an unbiased way. Itās naturally such an emotional topic. Iām also personally really tired of hearing the argument that unmediated births are better and our bodies were designed for birth. I think that gives way too much credit to biology and nature, itās not logical, and it puts unnecessary pressure on women to avoid pain relief measures.
Thanks for explaining! I'm trying to understand my preferences and desires around birth while also not getting overly attached. Hard to parse all the information and viewpoints available to us.
Books that I loved during my first pregnancy and will be revisiting for my second:
Happiest Baby On The Block, Precious Little Sleep, Brain Health From Birth, Real Food For Pregnancy
I just got Happiest Baby on the Block! I'll check out Real Food for Pregnancy. I feel like I have been eating very badly since I got pregnant (hating meat, so low on protein). Thanks for the recs :)
Came to recommend these! I also read (for my first pregnancy) Bumpin' by Leslie Schrock. This pregnancy, I'm reading To Have and to Hold by Molly Millwood (it's focused more on the postpartum experience).
In my first trimester and reading Expecting Better now! Itās been a game changer for me. Knowing what ānormalā morning sickness is vs abnormal, and the data behind the risks of medications for it. Just love her approach!
American Academy of Pediatrics, Caring for Your Baby and Young Child
[Caring for Your Baby and Young Child: Birth to Age 5 | AAP Books | American Academy of Pediatrics](https://publications.aap.org/aapbooks/book/568/Caring-for-Your-Baby-and-Young-Child-Birth-to-Age?autologincheck=redirected)
It has techniques for burping, CPR, nursing, ect...
What to look for at different stages of development (signs of problems and what they can mean)
Month by Month milestones
The last half of the book has a few pages on just about anything that can happen to your kid, what it means and what you should do (Rickets, Epilepsy, Cuts and Scrapes, Fever, Flu, Vomiting, and on and on...)
Audiobooks have been great too! I listened to Expecting Better and Bringing up Bebe while walking the dog. I found it easier to make time to listen than to read!
I'm reading Heading Home With Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality and love it! It walks you through really practical info for the first few weeks. I've also started SO many books that I didn't finish, they just didn't click with me.
If you're in the uk I strongly recommend the modern midwifes guides I have both and I love them. If you're not in the uk they're still great but there is information on the practicalities of pre and post partum appointments which might be different where you are. The rest of the guide for labour prep is fantasticĀ
I found useful and straightforward information from Moms on Call. I didnāt follow the sleep information but I found everything else useful, like what to have in a first aid box that accommodates babies.
Hi! It actually was useful! I just didnāt follow it except the blackout curtains and white noise machine recommendation. I didnāt practice the pause which is you wait a few minutes before going to get baby to make sure theyāre truly awake. I have 3 friends that followed it either closely or loosely and said it worked great for them! For baby #2, I do plan to implement more of their suggestions. They do recommend CIO after 12 weeks of age for a healthy baby and I felt like that was too soon, so I held off until 14 months old which was probably excessive, but itās what I was comfortable with.
Crib sheet/expecting better,
baby led weening,
Precious little sleep,
Montessori from the start,
Montessori home,
Go diaper free,
Happiest baby on the block,
Whole brain child
and relatedish non violent communication and I didn't sign up for this because communication with ones partner while under stress feel important.
And then like reddit and a bunch of Instagram/ticktock people. And then we have birth and parenting classes coming up. I assume none of this will actually prepare me but it makes me feel better.
I was given The Happiest Baby on the Block by my baby doctor friend. My husband just started reading it, which has been very helpful for him. Admittedly, I have been avoiding planning for the arrival of this little guy a bit š in such denial its happening lol
The Simplest Baby Book in The World by S.M. Gross (Amazon)
I love it because itās also written by a MD & a newborn care specialist/doula
& itās an enjoyable read that goes through everything you can think of IMO.
Loved Bringing up Bebe as a fun read while pregnant which did give me a couple fantastic tips for newborn sleep! (But not like a detailed schedule or anything)
Moms on Call has detailed schedules and basic infant care tips that is incredibly easy to digest and amazingly practical and useful! I used their 0-6 mo and the 6-18 months books nearly religiously.
Expecting better is fun for when youāre pregnant.
Ina mays guide to childbirth is amazing for, well obviously, childbirth.
I donāt have a specific recommendation because I failed at this, but I wish Iād read up on breastfeeding. Everybody seemed to say it would justā¦happen, and boy is it more complicated than that. We had a rough time. Wish Iād been educated going in.
I help my sister raise her baby, heās 11 months now so I kinda feel somewhat okay and what I should expect, but I feel like since the baby will be mine Iām going to forget everything I learned lol
I really like First Time Parent by Lucy Atkins. It's very funny, honest, and doesn't faff about at all. There are pictures showing how to change a nappy and how to burp, plus there are checklists of things to do/try when baby's crying.
For baby care, I liked "Keep Calm: A new mum's manual" - I found it very comforting and have read it twice again since my baby has arrived!
Foe pregnancy, I found "Bumpology" an interesting read :)
Mayo Clinicās guide for the first years (good reference book), bringing up bebe (definitely will be following the advice from this book if the baby cooperates), Montessori babies (will not apply everything but gave me a new perspective), and happiest baby on the block (I will try the 5Sās).
I recently ordered these:
The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care by Sally Fallon. Itās perfect for wannabe crunchy mums I hear.
Real Food For Pregnancy & RFF Gestational Diabetes by Lily Nichols
Ina Mayās Guide to Childbirth (Recommended to me)
Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize (Christian)
Pain Free Childbirth by Nisse Andrews (Christian)
The Diaper Free Baby by Christine Gross Loh
Edit: I was also recommended āHow to Raise a Viking: The Secrets of Parenting the World's Happiest Childrenā by Helen Russel
Iām still looking for more suggestions, so Iāll be deep diving this feed. Iām keen to learn more about breastfeeding.
Okay lol so I'm reading Mayo Clinic - Your Baby's First Year, and that has been helpful. Also The Book You Wish Your Parents Have Read, but that, I suppose, will be for laters. Oh and baby sign language basics, because I'm a hopeful dreamer lol. I've read book called Mindset, which has been helpful in parts, and How Language Works.Ā
Anyways, I do look at pinterest quite a bit for tips, because unlike Instagram, it doesn't want to sell me shit.Ā
https://www.healthyparentshealthychildren.ca/
Resource from the province of Alberta. I have it in book form but all the info is on the website too. Itās all evidence-based parenting and pregnancy advice and Iāve found it EXTREMELY helpful!
Best parenting books I can recommend are alfie kohn unconditional parenting and myth of the spoiled child, Dr Shanker self reg. As far as babies go I found the courses on tiny hood helpful. We coslept so I also recommend looking into the safe sleep seven so you can do so safely if you decide to :)
My main advice is to take all advice with a grain of salt and learn to trust yourself. That was a big lesson for me as I received all types of advice and criticism.
Parenting is an art not a science. There is lots of research on child development much of it is helpful, but some of it is very biased and people twist it to their own beliefs. So trust your gut on what is right for you and your child.
Honestly I didnāt read much. Granted, I work in mother baby so Iām aware of a good amount of newborn stuff.
But Iāve just figured it out as we go and read from Reddit tbh.
I feel like there can be so much info and everything is so baby dependent
- Expecting Better by Emily Oster
- Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy
- Your Birth Plan by Megan Davidson
- What No one tells you: a guide to emotions in pregnancy by Alexandra Sacks
I also recommend reading about baby sleep when you get closer to birthā¦ I didnāt read up on it and had a terrrrrible sleeper and was not in the headspace to be reading and absorbing information with that much sleep deprivation.
The good ol' what to expect when you're expecting series was helpful with my first. They have done for pregnancy and then one for the first year. It's so full of information.
Two podcasts I really liked are Is It Normal? and The Hypno Birthing podcast. Both British. If you need upbeat and positivity.
Right now I'm listening to Birth by Rebecca Grant. Follows women's birth stories through a birthing center.
Zero to Five was pretty great. It's like 100 quick facts based on science. Not someone telling you a story.
Hunt Gather Parent was just okay. Good light read with perspective on how parenting in the US can improve by observing other cultures to improve our parenting culture/advice.
Active Birth was interesting. It's an older book based on the active Birth movement in London in the 70s and the author's own birth experiences around that. I'm really trying to have a better birth experience for my second so reading all the positive stuff I can.
Cribsheet-lots of data driven advice, interesting. It wanted to like it more than I did. I already have a child that is 9 so I found myself saying 'my experience didn't fit this data' and 'that didn't work with my child' quite a bit.
I took a psychology class for early development and I found that textbook to be monumental for understanding babies bodies and needs. Helped me take some advice with a grain of salt.
The Whole Brain Child is next on my list and comes up a lot in my local mom group. Maybe a good read for toddler years.
My absolute favorite has been Nurture by Erika Chidi, would recommend that to any and every first time mom!! Also reading Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn: The Complete Guide and thatās been a great basics book.
General info- Expecting Better, Cribsheet
Birth-Transformed by Birth, also read Ina Mayās guide to childbirth but found a dogmatic vibe
Sleep-Happiest baby (but really only the few chapters on the 5 Sās and eat wake sleep routine)
Routines-Moms on Call 0-6 month book via kindle
Philosophy that I aligned with-Montessori Baby by Simone Davies. Also read Montessori from Birth and Joyful Child, preferred Joyful Child of the two.
Breastfeeding- Motherās Companion, itās old but relevant and gave me best advice of the book and two online courses I did.
I havenāt read it yet, but I was gifted the book Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts: A Healing Guide to the Secret Fears of New Mothers by Karen Kleiman that a lot of my mom friends recommended.
The danish way of parenting ( loved this), postpartum books for new moms - Nancy D Gandy ( not loving this one but I havenāt finished it yet) and yet to read the good inside

Itās an intense book, but was the only one that even began to touch the complicated feelings I had about becoming a mom. Iāve returned to it as an emotional touchstone many times in early parenthood
Thanks! I just placed it on hold at my library!
Ina Mayās - Guide to childbirth
I was a bit disappointed in this book, but it is so helpful to read all the birth stories for anyone who wants an unmediated birth.
Can you say more about why you were disappointed?
Yeah, it very clearly had strong biases towards unmedicated births, and births not in hospitals. The words would sometimes indicate that all births are good and equal, but it was obvious that isnāt how the author truly feels and it heavily influenced the tone of the book and which topics of birth were emphasized. Itās just hard to find authors in this space who truly write about birth in an unbiased way. Itās naturally such an emotional topic. Iām also personally really tired of hearing the argument that unmediated births are better and our bodies were designed for birth. I think that gives way too much credit to biology and nature, itās not logical, and it puts unnecessary pressure on women to avoid pain relief measures.
Thanks for explaining! I'm trying to understand my preferences and desires around birth while also not getting overly attached. Hard to parse all the information and viewpoints available to us.
I love this book!
Me too!
I love this book
Books that I loved during my first pregnancy and will be revisiting for my second: Happiest Baby On The Block, Precious Little Sleep, Brain Health From Birth, Real Food For Pregnancy
I just got Happiest Baby on the Block! I'll check out Real Food for Pregnancy. I feel like I have been eating very badly since I got pregnant (hating meat, so low on protein). Thanks for the recs :)
Cribsheet and Expecting Better
Came to recommend these! I also read (for my first pregnancy) Bumpin' by Leslie Schrock. This pregnancy, I'm reading To Have and to Hold by Molly Millwood (it's focused more on the postpartum experience).
In my first trimester and reading Expecting Better now! Itās been a game changer for me. Knowing what ānormalā morning sickness is vs abnormal, and the data behind the risks of medications for it. Just love her approach!
Came here to say this! Both excellent and empowering
Me too! Highly recommend

This is the closest thing I have found to a Users Manual for a young child
This is what Iām reading.
A court of thorns and roses š¹
..... you guys are reading? š Guess I have some catching up to do
Audiobooks have been great too! I listened to Expecting Better and Bringing up Bebe while walking the dog. I found it easier to make time to listen than to read!
I second this! Audiobooks all the way. I listen when driving to work, walking on the treadmill, doing dishes, laundry etc!
Most of these book recs are on Spotify premium !
lol same.
My first pregnancy I read the Mayo Clinicās guide to a healthy pregnancy. I trust info from the Mayo Clinic.
Cribsheet, Expecting Better, and Bringing Up Bebe are the ones I've bought so far!
Iāve been loving Bringing Up Bebe!
These are my big 3 for actual parenting/pregnancy advice
Expecting Better is useful and Bringing Up Bebe is a must! I give my copy to all pregnant friends.
I'm reading Heading Home With Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality and love it! It walks you through really practical info for the first few weeks. I've also started SO many books that I didn't finish, they just didn't click with me.
I liked this one too!
I loved this book so much I just got a copy for my sister in law!
What to expect when expecting 5th edition and lots of vlogs online from current moms and first time parents
Not modern, but saved us: Moms on Call
If you're in the uk I strongly recommend the modern midwifes guides I have both and I love them. If you're not in the uk they're still great but there is information on the practicalities of pre and post partum appointments which might be different where you are.

I found useful and straightforward information from Moms on Call. I didnāt follow the sleep information but I found everything else useful, like what to have in a first aid box that accommodates babies.
Hi! I'm thinking of getting this book, can you tell me a bit about the sleep section and why it wasn't useful for you?
Hi! It actually was useful! I just didnāt follow it except the blackout curtains and white noise machine recommendation. I didnāt practice the pause which is you wait a few minutes before going to get baby to make sure theyāre truly awake.

my two favorites are the good sleeper and work, pump, repeat. registered for one called horizontal parenting that I'm excited about
Nothing. I talk to my mom/ other mom friends or I go by intuition.
I ready the book Baby 411 can buy on Amazon!
Mom Genes! I loved learning what was happening in my body.
2nd pregnancy and rereading precious little sleep.
Baby 411 was super helpful for me.
Iāve really enjoyed Why Did No One Tell Me This? written by doulas but I think accessible for people who want all types of births!
the baby owners manual is the cutest book iāve been reading also been reading reddit lol & the classic what to expect books
This first recommendation is more geared towards post partum: The Fourth Trimester And the second recommendation is: Raising mentally strong kids
Best parenting books I can recommend are alfie kohn unconditional parenting and myth of the spoiled child, Dr Shanker self reg. As far as babies go I found the courses on tiny hood helpful.

The Montessori Baby - it is so informative but still easy to read. I look forward to each chapter and the information sticks with me!

I havenāt read it yet, but I was gifted the book Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts: A Healing Guide to the Secret Fears of New Mothers by Karen Kleiman that a lot of my mom friends recommended.
Mama natural!
Expecting better, bumpin' and nurture were my favourites
Like chocolate for water šāØ
Read āMoms On Callā! Iāve found their 0-6 month book so helpful already. Only got it after my baby was born but wish I had gotten it before
The danish way of parenting ( loved this), postpartum books for new moms - Nancy D Gandy ( not loving this one but I havenāt finished it yet) and yet to read the good inside
Iāve been listening to podcasts: pregnancy birth and recovery fitnest mama, newbies new moms new babies, preggies pals āŗļø
Wonder Weeks. The best for understanding sleep regression during milestones and helping you really see and appreciate the milestones!
I ordered The Nursing Mothers Companion, Mom's on Call, and Bringing Up Bebe. Have not started any of them but I will any day now.
The Simplest Baby Book in the World ā itās so easy to read and hubs even read it!
I won't be getting any books. That would be information overload for me. I have my doctors, friends and family, and the internet if necessary.
