I wouldnt call it the best advice, but the most fun to read, and the most real was vicki Iovine's girlfriends guide to surviving the first year of motherhood. Also advice I always tell new moms becuase it was never told to me and sometimes things just dont occur to you is that if your baby blows out of the diaper more than once a day, usually its the size of the diaper, if its a leg blowout, its too big, and if its a back blowout, its too small. We went through alot of clothes before we realized my dd was big enough for the next size up of diapers... DUR!
My best advice is just to take it all in stride. I think a lot of new moms get completely overwhelmed, and I really think the baby can sense that. Be flexible, be willing to take advice and help from others, and don't sweat it - that first year goes so fast. Every new stage is a new little miracle, and you will miss it if you spend too much time stressing out and worrying.
Also - trust your instincts.
