This one is great for any parent who wants to know, "why is my baby doing this?" Penelope Leach has a great insight on what is going on and why our babies do what they do. It really made me think, "oh, that makes sence." It was obviously written in the 70s and you can tell by some of the things she writes about, but, the information about babies is timeless. A must read for parents of babies, I highly recommend.

One of the least hysterical, most reasonable baby books. I also like that she explains current research and puts it in context.

A very technical navigational guide through the first months of kid care. And by technical I mean graphic, freaky and amazing. Highly informative for all who know very little on the subject.
