Before (and even after) having Penelope I read my fair share of baby books! I requested on my Instagram Story to have people send me their favorite baby/parenting books and received a huge list with a lot of people recommending some of the same titles.
Here is the list!
- Baby Wise
- Baby Whisperer
- Bringing Up Bebe
- Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child
- Get Your Sleep On
- Happiest Baby on the Block
- The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting by Brene Brown (suggested to read on Audible!)
- Surprised by Motherhood
- Attachment Parenting
- 12 Hours of Sleep by 12 Weeks
- What to Expect the First Year
- Parenting with Love & Logic
- Power of Positive Parenting
- Whole Brain Child
- Rules for my Unborn Child
- Simplicity Parenting
- Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child
- The Child Whisperer
- Everything
- Elevating Child Care
- Sleep Sense
- The Baby Sleep Solution
- Brain Rules for Baby
I’ve read the ones that are hyperlinked and out of all of them, my favorite was Get Your Sleep On by Christine Lawler. She has basically read almost every single book for you and condenses it in an easy to read (literally took me an hour and a half to read) and she gets right to the point. It has totally been my go-to! Highly recommend. You can follow her on Instagram too @the_peaceful_sleeper for more tips & tricks!
If you prefer listening to your books, you can get two free audiobooks on Audible by clicking here!
Happy reading.
