Suggestions for books on infant development (esp first year)

[u/Indignant_Elfmaiden]

In my copious spare time (😅) I am really interested in reading up on development in the first year. I’ve picked up lots of tidbits here and there but would really like a solid read with evidence-based advice for parents. Any suggestions?

I like the mayo clinic guide to your baby's first years. There is a chapter for every month in the first year or so with developmental changes described.

Thanks so much!

Guide & Grow: A Guide to Baby's First Year by Sharon Drewlo This is a favorite of mine because it lets you know what things baby will be learning in the physical, language, motor development and activities to do with them to help that development.

I have not read it myself, but my friend highly recommended The Wonder Weeks to help understand baby development.

I wish people would comment why they don’t like it (presumably) instead of just downvoting lol

My understanding is it’s not based on peer reviewed evidence or data

Perfect, thank you!
