Advice that many gave me but I didn't believe, "Time goes by so fast." The first year has come and gone and my once newborn is now a toddler, I cant even begin to explain where the time has gone.

The two that I think are valuable...are NEVER wake a sleeping baby....and NEVER hold a sleeping baby (well for long)
    First of all, let me say that I do believe in true love. But I also deeply believe in the complexity, variety, and downright insanity of love. A lucky person loves hundreds of people in their lives, all in different ways, family love, friendship love, romantic love, all in so many shades and depths. I don't think you lose your ability--or right--to have true love by loving more than one person. In part, this is true because you never love two people the same way. Another part of it is that, if your lucky, you learn to love better with practice. The bottom line is that you have to choose who you are going to commit to-that's the foundation of true love, not a lack of other options. ~Stephenie Meyer

In my experience with mine....with our first we held her all the time when she was sleeping because she was new and she would never sleep without someone holding her. With my second we didn't hold her as much when sleeping and she slept a lot better...by my third...he'd sleep all night in his crib because we didn't hold him while sleeping...

Don't be afraid to question your child's pediatrician or to diagree with him, you are the parent and have the final say.
Do your research, ask other parents for advise you might be surprised what you learn. Join a parenting message board!! The knowlege and info you learn/receive is priceless!! Do reviews on products before making a purchase. You might find that something you think is cool but have gotten horrible reviews by other parents. |

I LOVE MY SUGAR BUBS Mother of All Posters  |
My advice would be like someone else said,always trust your instincts,IMO you can never spoil a baby enjoy her/him cause time does go by fast,cherish every moment,be open and honest with your kids,be paient with them...
 "I adore their smiles I cherish their hugs I admire their sense of humor But most of all I love that they are my SONS"     "I'll teach my children to love,they will learn to hate on there own" |

MY FAMILY IS MY LIFE SC Frannie Poo Mother of All Posters  |
My advice would be to take other people's criticism with a grain of salt. Not everyone will agree with the way you parent YOUR baby... if you choose to breastfeed you may get negativity from people that formula feed or vice versa. As long as your baby is fed, clothed, loved, healthy, safe and happy there is no right or wrong way to parent. You have to do what is best and works for your family regardless of what others have to say. Don't ever let anyone make you feel you are inferior because you don't do things the way they did.
