Hello everyone! I’m about to become a parent in a few months and I was wondering what books would you recommend reading to get myself prepared. Is there a new parents bible or something like It? The baby won’t come with instructions. Thanks!

    I get your point, and there are certainly tons of books that falsely claim to have a magic method. But if anything, a sweeping generalization about books seems too stiff.

      We had read a wide variety of books when we got our daughter and most tips and advice fell in two categories: “this is dumb, I’d never try this” and “yeah, no shit Sherlock”. I don’t say, there are no good books out there, I just say, there are much more … not so good ones. And picking up bad advice from a bad book more likely than the other way round.
