Recommending books seems to be not in fashion. I read some during the pregnancy of my wife. They were helpful. The most helpful one that I am using right now is unfortunately in German. It is really good, but with no translation (Largo, Babyjahre). The rest is in English. 1. What to expect When You're Expecting http://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Youre-Expecting/dp/0761148574/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1434957653&sr=1-1&keywords=what+to+expect http://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Youre-Expecting/dp/07... It is the classic on the subject and helped when there were some questions. Nutrition is really important. It becomes especially important after the birth. 2. What's Going on in There? A book about the brain development of the child. It helped me to understand things better. http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-There-Brain-Develop/dp/0553378252 http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-There-Brain-Develop/dp/055... 3. Beyond the sling. This book is about parenting in general. It helps you broaden your mind. I would not recommend all of it. But carrying your child around helps in a lot of ways. http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Sling-Real-Life-Confident-Attachment/dp/1451662181/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434957817&sr=8-1&keywords=beyond+the+sling http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Sling-Real-Life-Confident-Attac...
