LOL! Hey, 6 years ago this was brand new stuff for me!
I didn't send my old copy of "Baby 411" up to you because they've come out with a new edition... but it's hands-down the best, common-sense book I've seen. Ours got a workout during those 3 am things when it was just too late to call my mom.

They back up their facts with references, and when they've written something that's more of an opinion than an accepted fact, it's set off in its own little box so you can tell it's an opinion. Very readable, and very informative!
