Recommending books seems to be not in fashion. I read some during the pregnancy of my wife. They were helpful. The most helpful one that I am using right now is unfortunately in German. It is really good, but with no translation (Largo, Babyjahre). The rest is in English.
It is the classic on the subject and helped when there were some questions. Nutrition is really important. It becomes especially important after the birth.
2. What's Going on in There?
A book about the brain development of the child. It helped me to understand things better.
This book is about parenting in general. It helps you broaden your mind. I would not recommend all of it. But carrying your child around helps in a lot of ways.
