My pregnancy book recommendations

Since it's my first pregnancy I can tell you that I have at least 15 book about pregnancy and babies. From What to Expect when expecting books to audio books like belly laughs (which I loved too) I decided to pick out my current 4 books plus another one recommended by a mommy friend to share with you all.

If you are a busy mom to be like myself then I'm sure you don't have time to just sit and read a whole book. That's why I love these 4 books the most. Easy to read, and easy to flip through to the part you need information on.

 Love the experts guide because it has so many questions us new moms have with answers in only a few pages each. Question like "Bathing Baby" seems simple right, but not for a first time mom haha!
 I only read a couple chapters of the Infant Stimuli but I think it's great. It talks about what to do with your newborn to stimulate their development. Like buy black and white toys for your newborn because they don't see color for a couple months. I added some cows and pandas to my registry :)
 I bought soo many books on pregnancy nutrition and I love this one the best! It's so simple to read and lists out the healthy foods by trimester with a summary of what nutrients the foods have and how it's good for mom and baby.  A must have!
 And of course a journal :) You can write your experience in here and each day has a brief summary of moms and baby's development through the pregnancy. It also has some tips for moms to be too.

Those 4 books have been my favorite from all the books I bought so far. Hope this helps some first time moms :)

A mommy friend suggested the book "Happiest Baby on the Block" she highly recommends it so I ordered it on Amazon this morning :)

I added all the books to my Amazon Widget to your left, check em out.
