Do you subscribe to or read any baby or parenting magazines?

If you do which ones do you like and what do you like about them? I really like to read magazines and used to read Parents magazine on a regular basis but after awhile all the stuff seemed to be the same stuff. What is your favorite book about babies or parenting. I liked the book ';What the other mothers know';!Do you subscribe to or read any baby or parenting magazines?
Yeah...I get Cookie, American Baby and shamefully, US Weekly (It is good ';veg-out'; reading.)





Cookie is pretty cool but aimed more for moms who have Volvos %26amp; Cartier watches...not me. But, it gives cool, Martha Stewart inspired touches to everyday things that toddlers like. And they do have a section called, ';cookie dough,'; which is coupon codes from various sponsors.





I have gotten some solid enjoyment out of American Baby. There is good writing and it is a smaller magazine, so there is not very many fillers %26amp; advertisements.





If, I did have to pick ONE to recommend...it would have to be Cookie. As far as mommy books...I have kind of come up empty-handed. I am reading Tori Spelling's ';Mommywood,'; I have to say it is very entertaining.Do you subscribe to or read any baby or parenting magazines?
I subscribe to:


Parents


American Baby


Baby Talk


Cookie (I agree with the marketing that it is to those with Volvos and Carier watches and those who think $50 for an article of clothing is cheap)


Family Fun (it is a replacement for the now defunct ';Wonder Time';)





All of these magazines I essentially got as free subscriptions. I had a free sub to Parents (two years, I think), and got a mailing for two years for eight or ten dollars so my husband got it for me, so it piggybacked and I have a subscription until 2011. The magazine can be redundant, but it makes for a good read while I'm breastfeeding.





Also, my daughter likes the baby/kids pictures in the mags, too.
I had a one year subscription to Parents magazine when my son was born. I enjoyed reading it, but like you said, I felt like it was pretty much the same thing every month. Even though I love to read, I have never read any parenting books. I just kinda go with the flow.
I've had a tough time finding a magazine that's not sponsored by a formula company.





ETA: Just want to add that I have nothing against people who *use* formula, I just have a problem with the companies.
i read lamaze but im not much of a reader, i have pregnancy for dummies, what to expect when expecting and full of life
Yep i read a magazine online for moms of multiples, I'm having twins in early december. I'm looking at hand free feeding systems for multiples.
i havent read ';what other moms know'; but im gonna check it out! i read parenting-the early years b/c it comes in the mail for free! haha! its an okay magazine.
I read babble.com from time to time. It can be interesting.
