Book and other media recs for first-time parents

Question - Research required

I’m about to be 40 weeks on Thursday, and I’m realizing I should probably read (or at least have on hand) a book for routines and other need to know things for first time parents. My mom keeps recommending babywise, but I’ve heard some things about it that make me skeptical. I’ve also heard good things about moms on call.

I’d love insight to either of those or other recommendations including podcasts, social media accounts, etc!
