Peds Reference?

I'm an adult ICU RN/CCRN (MICU and SICU jobs) but am about to have a baby. What is a good reference for infants? Hoping to find something that is above and beyond the layperson's level.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    I am an ICU/ED/Trauma flight nurse. I had been a nurse for close to 20 years when I had my first. You know what....I read the "good stuff" and was scaring myself to death.

    I read "What to expect when you are expecting" and "What to expect the first year."

    It was accurate, knowledgeable and it didn't scare the beejesus out of me. Those books give an real how too for the worried inexperienced parent.

    I listened to my Mom and family. I would occasionally look something up on micromedex at work....but I stayed away for the worst case scenarios.

    My main goal is just to know a bit more that ties back to physiology/pathophysiology and how that differs from adults.

    Sadly, I don't have a mom to ask; my parents died a few years back and my husband's mom had a stroke last year. We (my husband and I) are totally solo in this, so I'm trying to at least have the heavier references available so I can make sense of things.
