This is an amazing resources for moms, birth partners, doulas and other birth workers. This is somehing I will take to every birth and recommend to pregnant moms. It has highlighted sections that are helpful for in the moment labor support.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Attachment Parenting Handbook
I love attachment parenting and the bond it creates for newborns with their caregivers. I support the parenting stule but the book is outdated and is very much written as a man telling a woman how to mother. Many points are supported by the author's personal theories or trials on one person or one small trial group which doesn't give true evidence like that of a real study.

This book covers the ABC's, yoga poses, beautiful and diverse illustrations and short poems on how to do the poses. It was suggested in a review to have your child choose a letter and go to that letter to do that pose. Our whole family can use this pose to learn yoga, stretch and calm ourselves down throughout the day.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book teaches emotions to our youges baby leaners. As a board book it is great for babies to handle and chew on as they do. I give it the five stars because it actually includes a small mirror at the end for your child to make faces in! This is a baby safe mirror and so fun and uniqe which is why I give it the five stars!

This is a whimsically illustrated large book with paper pages. It is probably more fun for the parent to read than the child only because every word is so relatable. We found it fun and entertaining to read and I beleive it could be fun for an older siblig to read and understand the younger baby in the house. "Busy babies rattling keys," really got me as my child was going through a phase where she loved to play with my keys! Four stars for relatability and that it is enjoyable for the parent to read time and again. It is a little bit of a longer story for a baby or young toddler which chould be good if you read books to prepare for bed.
