There are numerous books written about the newborn infant and many of them are informative and well written. We especially recommend Caring for Your Baby and Young Child published by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is an excellent reference book and is very current. It is available in most bookstores.

Two of the better books for getting your newborn to sleep well are The Happiest Baby of the Block and The No Cry Sleep Solution.
