Re: Best AP book for new mom?
I really like The Baby Book by Sears. It covers so many things, not just AP. It's pro-vaccine but not shaming to people who choose to delay or decline, IIRC. (It's been a long time since I read it but I've given it as a gift many times.)
It's also mainstream enough (written by a highly lettered pediatrician and his RN wife who had 8 children) that it can be used to help shush nosy people who try to tell you otherwise. "A pediatrician recommended that I not let my baby CIO," is much more effective than, "this book I read said . . . "
