A visit to your local bookstore will show you how many books there are available on parenting. There are books about pregnancy, about the first year, the second year and leading right up to the teenage years. There are books on baby diets, baby illnesses and even one's that are designed to give you a light hearted look into parenting.

Books written by people who have done all their parenting, learned from mistakes and had success through trial and error are helpful to a new parent.
