we got a book called
caring for your baby and young child: birth to age 5 by the american academy of pediatrics. it was a gift from one of my baby showers and i just love it!

another graet find is the "the close and secure sleeper" by learning curve. we were just putting bethany on a pillow between us at night. but this is so much better! also i can easily move it to the living room and let her set next to me on the couch. easier then having to go across the house to her room. its also great for when we go stay with friends or family. her play pin is so bulky and its frustrating having to travel with it.
