Get this, great resource for your first few months with the baby - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1889392510/ref=mp_s_a_1_1/189-4738741-7371737?qid=1453954035&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=baby+411
What to Expect (so patronizing, I couldn't even finish it)
The Mayo Clinic guide (horribly written, really dumbed down)
I wasn't thrilled with the Hypnobirthing book (the Monghan Method). I actually get the purpose of the technique and took classes but I had to wade through a lot of woo. That book could have been a booklet and they could stand to elevate the reading level a bit.
I read probably every book on baby sleep ever published. The one I think is most underrated is the Ferber book. Regardless of your opinion on the so-called Ferber method, there's a lot of great sleep science in that book. Didn't like the Baby Whisperer at all, and not because I had an issue with the methods but the writing and tone. My god.
Since I've trashed a bunch of books I'll make some recommendations:
Birth Day: A Pediatrician Explores the Science, the History, and the Wonder of Childbirth This isn't so much a what to expect but covers what is going on during pregnancy and childbirth. It's super interesting and very well written. I wish more people knew about this book.
Your New Pregnancy Bible pro: very detailed, lots of info. con: no one edited the damn thing
I actually liked the Happiest Baby on the Block but I thought it could be half as long.
Baby 411 This is more for when they're born but it's really straightforward and gives you summaries of current thinking on most things baby-related. Then you can do further research.
My co-workers gave me this book. I will be getting a copy for my MIL as a lot of things kids wise has changed since her other grandchildren were babies.
Baby 411: Clear Answers and smart advice for your baby's first year (https://www.amazon.com/Baby-411-Clear-Answers-Advice/dp/1889392510). This book is straight forward and was recommended by multiple pediatricians (my wife's an obgyn resident and has multiple pediatrician friends from med school). Also second The Happiest Baby on the Block.
Baby 411 Basically every time I call the nurse at the pediatrician's office they give me the same exact advice so I just use it unless symptoms get worse.
I think it's this one:
