Books
As a new mother, I often searched for books I could look to for answers. Because each child is unique, I found this difficult. There are many books out there and each has its own views on how to raise or care for a child. I did, however, find one book which I used and found to be extremely helpful.
Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracey Hogg is a book I believe should be a must. If I could recommend only one book to a new parent, this would be it.
