“The one advice that I would give just to moms who have a child or a newborn is definitely sleep while the baby sleeps. I've heard that so many times. I never realized how true it really is.

“There's still another problem which puzzles a lot of people - whether or not a baby will come within the budget. Our sentimental advice is to have one anyway, if you want one and have been through the marriage ceremony.

“Question the Chestnuts. Chestnuts: the new name for boobs? No. NO. Why would you even say that? Get your mind out of the gutter. No, by "chestnuts" I mean, "those old pieces of writing advice that you hear as common refrain." 'Write what you know.' 'Adverbs give Baby Jesus hemorrhoids.' 'If you write a prologue, an orphan loses his sight.' All the "old saws" need to be put on the chopping block.” IfsKnowsNeedsGivingWritingMindMeanJesusNamesLosesCommonSawsPiecesAdviceBabySightBlockWriting AdviceOrphanRefrainGuttersChoppingChestnutsAdverbsPrologueBaby JesusHemorrhoids Author:Chuck Wendig
“Actually, on a slightly more serious but kind of parallel level, I remember being on Loveline before both hosts ascended into loftier places in the culture. But I remember being shocked by Dr. Drew. He went into this extended monologue about how anyone with a baby voice is probably the victim of child abuse or has some daddy issue. As an intellectually curious person, all I could think is that there isn't any clinical evidence about that. But to be the guy wearing the doctor's hat on the radio and teaching everybody about this? It just seemed like a parody of good advice.” ThinkingKindChildrenRememberGuyCultureTeachingAdviceSeriousBabyEvidenceAbuseVictimCuriousHostChild AbuseDaddyGood Advice Author:John Flansburgh
“My tiny baby blossoming art collection is comprised of works by artists I have either assisted or been mentored by, artists I am friends with, or artists I have traded with. As much as I want to and aspire to acquire works from established artists, I love acquiring works from my contemporaries in order to participate in this moment in time. The advice I would give is know what you like, take your time, and invest in things you feel connected to, as opposed to buying something because it seems cool or "of-the-moment."” GivingArtMomentsArtistAdviceBabyTake Your Time Author:Chloe Wise
“The best parenting advice I ever got was from a labor nurse who told me the following: 1. After your baby gets here, the dog will just be a dog. 2. The terrible twos last through age three. 3. Never ask your child an open-ended question, such as "Do you want to go to bed now?" You won't want to hear the answer, believe me. "Do you want me to carry you upstairs, or do you want to walk upstairs to go to bed?" That way, you get the outcome you want and they feel empowered.” WayWantFeelsBelieveChildrenAgeLastsThreeAsksParentAnswersWalksAdviceDogBabyTerribleBedLaborFollowingYour ChildrenOutcomesNurseWant MeBelieve In MeEmpoweredYou Want MeUpstairsDo You Want Me Author:Jodi Picoult
