Before the birth is an exciting and exasperating time. Can’t wait to meet the little one, but also feeling nervous about getting ready.
I spent all my time reading on the birth, and attending birthing classes. I also did an enormous amount of research on what to buy. But I couldn’t bring myself to focus on what would happen once we got baby home. I really wish I had.
The best book to read, in the weeks before baby is born, is Dr Howard Chilton’s Baby on Board. See my section on 'The first 3 months - resources'.
Here I've looked at what to buy, and which books or websites to read, before you bring baby home.
