What are the best books to give to new mammas?  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I am looking for a good working list to give to interested friends. I have a lot of good books that I loan out already, but when I loan a book to a friend I also like to recomend some others that she could check out at the library or whatever.
What books to do you regularly give out to new mammas or even second or third time mammas....basically the books you think that every mother should have. Let's include the best pregnancy/birth books also....

Sheila Kitzinger's The Year After Baby's Birth and Robin Lim's After the Baby's Birth are both great for postpartum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I second the above recommendations. For the future, How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk - anything by the authors, Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlisch - dd is young still but there is something in them for her.

Can't say enough about the Sears' The Baby Book.
