The Baby Whisper. My absolute favorite book. Helped me so much and really made me felt so much more comfortable and confident as a first time parent. Secrets of the Baby Whisperer https://a.co/d/8ntFjJx

What to expect when You're expecting and what to expect 1st+2nd year are very helpful I've found. Raising good humans, and mama cusses are both good, but best read around 1 year plus, as before that you're in the newborn trenches but haven't really touched the bit where parenting can get reactive ie your kid saying no or doing something you told them not to while making eye contact, and while I had seen some advice it didn't make much sense on a personal level till I was in it really, but up to you. The oh crap potty training guide is a good one too, both to read in advance, and as a guide going through it.
The book you wish your parents had read
The Nurture Revolution by Greer Kirshenbaum

"On becoming babywise" and "wonder weeks" were the two books that I kept referring back to the entire first year of my kids life.
