For the first few months, Happiest Baby on the Block

After that, the Weissbluth sleep book and Burton White's "The New First Three Years of Life". For that one I liked the info on development and suggestions of toys and activities.

Beyond that, Anthony Wolf, especially his book on dealing with siblings.

Precious Little Sleep is easy to read and very helpful. It is very pro CIO but also has other strategies.

But both those books really meshed well with my parenting attitudes.

I also found Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child (the Dr. Weissbluth book) useful, although I ended up doing more of a Ferber approach to sleep training.


+1. Loved Bringing Up Bebe and Emily Oster books
