Parents of Reddit: which books on raising your children and parenting can you recommend? My wife and I are having a baby in May and I'm curious as to what Reddit would recommend I read. We're both very comfortable with babies and children in general (she was pretty much a professional nanny for about 8 years growing up and I have a lot of children in my family that I've babysat many many times), but that is mostly enforcing other parents' rules and encouraging the things they encourage, which is obviously very different than parenting.
So did you read any books that helped you a good bit?
I'd prefer to hear from parents of children who are a bit older, so they can say definitively, from experience, "THIS WORKED" or "THIS DID NOT WORK".
Also, if anybody knows where to find any of these books in audiobook format (excluding Audible.com), that'd be amazing.

I loved the whole Dr. Sears series. They've been very helpful. Also http://www.attachmentparenting.org/.
