Stop "googling!" Great books to read!


You will quickly learn that as a mama-to-be (and then also as a mama) "googling" can be a tight downward spiral into conflicting information, horror stories, and mommy-blogging rants. Do yourself and the wee baby inside of you a favor - don't fall into this rabbit hole. Educating yourself is important though. Below is a list of some fantastic books that I highly recommend. Some of the titles are linked to where you can purchase them on Amazon but I am not getting any kick back from them. It's just for your convenience. A lot of these books I would check the library for first.
