My wife just had her first pregnancy doctor’s appointment and I am feeling under prepared. I am looking for worthwhile and hopefully empirically based books about pregnancy and parenting. I normally have no problems doing my own research and scourging the library to find out what I need but there’s so much it’s overwhelming.

So what books have you all read that are worthwhile? What is worth looking at?

    I would highly recommend “Let the baby drive”, a super oversimplified summary could be “Nap when new baby naps”, but there is so much more in there.

      I have heard the “Nap when new baby naps” advice before. We will try to do it
