Excellent advice on saving money on all kinds of baby gear. Every time I turn around, Denise and Alan have issued another edition of their bestselling baby gear guides. I hope I've got the most recent edition here. (Check before you buy.)

A comprehensive pediatric health reference book to have on hand to combat those middle-of-the-night panic attacks.

A fun way to keep track of your baby's first year milestones.

Feed yourself well and you'll be a much happier mom -- and that will make for a happier baby. That's the premise behind this delightful (and yummy) and well-written book. It's fun to read, meticulously researched, and definitely one of the best books out this season. It's the ideal side-kick to my book Mealtime Solutions, which is about feeding your baby.

A celebration of the journey to motherhood.

I was invited to contribute a chapter on choosing childcare to this guide.

A psychologist's take on motherhood. Fascinating reading.

An interesting look at child-rearing in other cultures.

How motherhood changes your life, for better and for worse.

The stuff of which dreams are made of -- literally! Great advice on helping your baby to adjust to life outside the womb.

A great guide to attachment parenting.

A wonderfully realistic take on motherhood.

A memoir that spans from pre-marriage and kids to life after kids. One of my all-time favorite books, period, but it's a terrific "motherhood read," too.
