LOL, I just realized I said books don’t help and then told you to read. I meant that child-rearing books never really helped me.
To read with your baby, start with Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney (it comes in a board book version so your baby can eat it, too ;-) ) and I’ll Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.
“I’ll Love You Forever”...I cry just reading that title. I received that as a shower gift when pregnant with my first son. What a treasure (the book AND the son...haha).
