Resources we love

Mamacita loves:
On Becoming Babywise by Gary Ezzo
This book gives good, clear ideas for establishing a healthy eat/wake/sleep routine for your child. You have to take some of it with a grain of salt and not get too extreme, but I am convinced this is why my little munchkin slept through the night starting at 8.5 weeks. We will discuss this book and schedules/sleeping in depth later, but give this one a read!

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Mark Weissbluth
This is an excellent resource for ALL of your sleeping/napping questions. I especially like that it goes into toddler years. He discusses sleep patterns and gives suggestions based on medical research as well as parent insight.

Babycenter.com
I started using this website when I was pregnant. I love their weekly email updates. I continue to get them now and find them very helpful in tracking the development of my baby. I also love their tips and ideas for wake time with your baby, their experts who share about baby health questions, and their realistic suggestions and articles.

What to Expect the First Year
I loved What to Expect when I was pregnant, and I love it now, too. It is the most exhaustive resource I have found, and I know I can open it up and find something relating to most all questions that I have.
