Agree that Baby Rudin is VERY difficult to study on its own. I recommend only studying it alongside the other two books I listed: Abbott's Understanding Analysis and Spivak's Calculus (which has a solutions manual). Abbott in particular is very straightforward (at least in comparison with baby Rudin haha)

Another point for Abbott is that it was one of the ~400 books Springer made available for free download near the start of the pandemic. I remember there were a few scripts here on HN back then to grab all those books, so many here probably already have a copy.
