Can anyone recommend any books?

[clarey]

Hi,
I'm looking for a decent baby book, not so much instructions on routines etc as I think those books set you up for a fall, but something that covers developmental stages and health issues etc, things that us new parents may not know much about!

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

What To Expect the First Year is quite good I've found

I'm with Elaine on this one...What to Expect The First Year is very good. Very informative and lots of advice from different angles so not just telling you what to do! Has a handy section on baby first aid and CPR as well, which EVERY parent should have, just in case x

I'll 3rd What to Expect the First Year its a great book to start with

Also try NCT for other suggestions?

And congratulations on the birth of Eva Rose too
