Hello everyone! I’m about to become a parent in a few months and I was wondering what books would you recommend reading to get myself prepared. Is there a new parents bible or something like It? The baby won’t come with instructions. Thanks!

I can’t recommend any book but can give you some answers, if you have questions. We raised three kids and did quite good. Books are too stiff in giving advice and having your first baby is a very fluid experience.
I get your point, and there are certainly tons of books that falsely claim to have a magic method. But if anything, a sweeping generalization about books seems too stiff.
We had read a wide variety of books when we got our daughter and most tips and advice fell in two categories: “this is dumb, I’d never try this” and “yeah, no shit Sherlock”. I don’t say, there are no good books out there, I just say, there are much more … not so good ones. And picking up bad advice from a bad book more likely than the other way round.
