Solid, Middle of The Road

This is a reference book, an all-around, kitchen-sink atlas of babyhood for new parents, from diaper rash to speech impediments. If you want a more liberal, baby-first approach, go to Penelope Leach; more conservative, discipline-oriented, try Ferber. Still the best, general "apolitical" baby book, for all its faults. There are also lots of great, more specific baby books. For clueless Dads, there's "The Expectant Father" by Armin Brott, a classic. And for the insightful, intelligent, first-person memoir of parenthod, I go with Bruce Stockler's "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets."
