Mom2Mom seems to keep returning to this topic in various forums.  Maybe this is a good time to share your ideas again:  what are your favorite parenting books?  Read any new ones recently we would like to know about?  

 I have my favorites, and my least favorite also.    Which ones have you used recently that are effective and useful?  I always found having basic medical information books around the house very useful.  They not only saved me multiple calls and visits to the pediatrician, but calmed my first-time-parent-middle-of-the-night worries over colic or croup or sudden rashes or night terrors, or breathing issues, etc. the list is endless.  But now internet medical information has taken the place of those old valuable "must have" pediatrician books on the shelf for me.
