  Physician's Desk Reference This is what the doctors use for information on all prescription drugs. I use it whenever a new drug is prescribed for a family member. You can see all the research, any complication above 1% is listed and rate. If you don't purchase it-find it in your local library.

  The Family Bed A book that asks us to evaluate of unspoken rules for raising children. A cartoon in the book has a child asking parents how come he has to sleep alone when they don't have to. Interesting and thought provoking.

  Baby Signs: How to Talk with Your Baby before Your Baby Can Talk How to read you baby's first language...body language. A wonderful book with pictures to define the visual language of babies before the first spoken word. This little people do have a lot to say-we just don't speak the same language.
