Having never raised a baby before, I have read everything I can get my hands on. I've also gotten lots of advice from family, friends & other new moms I have meet at the mom groups I go to.
But there are some things about babies you can't/won't find in the books. So let me fill in the gap.
Tip #1 --Squeaky floors
Before your baby is born, fix all the squeaks in your floor
This has really become an issue for me. For a baby who can sleep through the antics of a deer crazed dog, B seems especially sensitive to our squeaky floors. Now granted, we do have the squeakiest hallway leading up to her bedroom and bathroom. Today I found myself practically walking on the moulding just so I could take a peak at the slumbering bambino who'd been asleep for over three hours.
