AP reading list

[ihugtrees]

I've gotten a few natural childbirth books under my belt, and am working on the LLL book as well. Now I want to start reading about parenting!! There was a thread about this before and I had an Amazon wish list based off of it but I lost the list and now I can't remember any of them...and the search function isn't bringing it up for me.

So what are the BEST and most essential AP parenting books (because I don't think I'll have time for all of them)? Or can someone link me to the thread I'm vaguely referring to?

Natural Family Living- Peggy O'Mara (Mothering Magazine's book on natural parenting.)

The Baby Book- Sears and Sears (Fabulous reference and you can be sure you're getting AP advice since they are the people that first really wrote about AP. The parents of AP if you will.)

The Vaccine Book- Sears (This is fairly moderate, some people say it leans pro-vax (I think it does a bit) and others say it leans anti-vax but whatever. I just like it because it has good information about the content of different vaxes which has helped us when explaining why we won't use them.)

The Attachment Connection- Newton

I think there's a sticky in the gentle discipline forum with a buncha books.
