Books that help

I'll do a little review on books that had help us out here. Hopefully this will help out first time parents.

The first book we bought "What to expect when you're expecting" by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel.

This book is a must have for first time pregnancy mom and dad. It explained everything in such detail its like your temporary pregnancy bible. We refer to this book almost every other day. It is very helpful and offer very useful advice, easy to read and not boring as you can skip around from month to month.

A must have pregnancy bible.

The 2nd book is "How smart is your baby" by Glenn Doman and Janet Doman.

This book is more of a scientific study and experiment. It gives you insight of how far we've develop on understanding of baby and toddlers. How useful is this book in your real life, I would say very useful however certain experiment like loud clapping with 2 blocks of wood to test your baby's startle reflexes I think can only be done with mat sallehs babies. If you're to do this on asian babies they would shit green poo for the whole weekend and you've to feed your baby with bo ying dan LOL! Some practicals are really over the wall but generally the Domans book and their discovery I find very important if you're the coaching parent typed.

They're some very useful research that will help you understand your babies like how important we need to follows natures path like the most important first step your baby need to make creeping and crawling. This will greatly enhanced their brain development. She encourage early brain development and setting your baby free.

This book is recommended if you're freaking academic and coaching type, but I'm just 50% here and there. Will not be too critical in this area, maybe I'm not the type who expect too much from my daughter. Maybe again I'm just being afraid over expecting may back fired on me.
The 3rd book we bought is "Raise a smarter child by kindergarten" by David Perlmutter.

This book is very interesting, its almost like a fiction novel that gets you chasing the pages. Its easy to read and understand. The book is somewhat similar to the above Doman's book but in a more practical adaptable in real life way. I guess if you follow Davids way you'll still end up with a smarter babies, but you get a more jovial baby and parents.

Its a more complete book about development of brain to other factors like environment toxin that somewhat affect our babies life. eg vaccine shots are tainted by mercury, and seafood we eat are also stain with mercury. Sometimes you get depressed reading too much of his studies to the point you feel like moving back to the jungle.

I find this book very very good and highly recommended.
The 4th book is "New babycare" by Dr. Merriam Stoppard.

This is practical baby care book for noob first time parents, but unfortunately many of the teaching will contradict with your confinement lady and your mother in laws. A clashing of the East and the West. You'll just have to compromise somewhere in between.

This book is not really needed if you've a confinement lady, but still it will give you an early understand of what parenting is about before all hell breaks loose. Buy the book and read before the baby comes.
