Baby Advice Sought
Apr. 18th, 2008 10:26 pmNo, I am NOT pregnant though given how queasy I have been recently, I have a lot of sympathy for those who are ... yes, I am quite sure that the queasy has nothing to do with reproductive status ... clariton isn't a cure for morning sickness but it helps my allergy related nausea on a regular basis throughout the year.
However, a number of people I know are either expecting their first, trying for their first, or in the case of one person close to me; expected to start trying for kidlet number 1 this summer and I know that y'all have some good ideas and experience. In the case of certain people; from what I have seen/heard; your parenting skills are fabulous. One couple (the one I suspect will start trying later this summer) will have a fair amount of advice from family members, unfortunately the success of said family members is debatable on some aspects of child rearing. Given that I don't have a child therefore 'couldn't possibly have any idea of anything,' having more experienced words may be helpful.
So, some of the things that have either come up in discussion with friends in the past, have come up with my SIL, have popped up in LJ, etc.. that I suspect that many of you may have opinions on are:
Basic Supplies
Basic Preparation
Basic Guidelines
( More Detailed Questions )
I am serious; there are enough people around me who are likely to use this info; please share as much as you are comfortable doing. Anonymous comments are still screened but if you prefer to be anonymous; I can understand that, it just may take longer for the comment to show up.
