Of course, every kid and parent is different but books provide general information that you can use to refine your style.

I am a new father of 11 months old, and I have no idea how I would have handled last 11 months without "What to Expect 1st Year." Also "Why do We Sleep" helped me understand importance of sleep for infants. "Let them Eat Dirt" helped me relax about baby putting everything in his mouth.

Of course, there are blogs and forums too. But those tend to be time suck and I prefer to avoid them.
