I read a bunch of books too - BabySense, BabyWise, What to Expect..., Babywhisperer and a few others before I had my baby and in the months following. Probably the most interesting one was BabyWhisperer, which I wish I read before my baby came.
But all in all, my baby didn`t let me follow any book or method or philosophy - he was busy just being him and I was busy getting to know who that was.
I would say the biggest help for me by far was and still is this forum. I have asked a million questions, I`m sure a lot of them stupid to some. It`s been great to hear other HK moms` experiences and advice, and I am happy if I can give back every now and again.
It sounds like you`Re already doing a great job because you are so interested to know more, to improve and to be a better parent, so you`re already one step ahead.
When all else fails, follow your baby`s lead, and try to guide him with the knowledge you have gained so far. If you can try to stay in sync with your baby as much as possible, I think you are beating all the advice about this routine and that pattern in all the books.
