This isn't some humble brag, they're just what I thought were common sense things to do with a kid. I wish I had more patience. But man..... kids just know how to push all your buttons on some days.

I would encourage any parent to learn as much as they can about how other cultures raise children, and think about family in general. You'll undoubtedly wind up wanting to mostly do things that are normal in our culture, but some perspective is really good for dispelling common myths or at least getting you to think about a lot of the basic assumptions that we make without thinking. Like for example, where baby should sleep at night: in a separate room, in a crib in your room, in your bed? And: how should you respond to a crying baby? Another thing I'd strongly suggest is learning & teaching "baby sign." Babies are capable of nonverbal communication far earlier than they can start speaking, and by teaching a dozen or so simple signs, your baby can tell you things that are otherwise hard to figure out. It lowers their frustration and makes for a happier baby. Basic signs include "eat," "more," "done," "mommy," and some situational stuff like "water" and "banana." My sister used baby sign with both of her boys and it was really cool to see a preverbal baby specifically asking for milk, or saying they're done eating. There's a ton of products about it you can buy but don't bother, you can just watch some youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gSZfW4gVhI This baby is just beginning to acquire spoken words but has basically double the vocabulary because of her baby signs.

Neil Armbong posted:2) Be patient. The kid legit doesn't know a thing and patience is the greatest gift you can give your child IMO Regarding this, I found it helpful to think of it as my child is basically learning literally the entire world from scratch. Think of all you know and how long it took you to acquire all of that information. It's pretty fascinating to see them do it too. Edit: and, frustratingly enough, it's not exactly the same world you learned and thus the information you have is also not 100% translatable to them.

fsif posted:I'm having my first kid pretty soon. Any recommendations on parenting books? Beyond Armbong's tips, We went to a rigid feeding / bedtime schedule by 8 weeks and that seemed to coincide with her sleeping through the night. It also put our minds at ease if we wanted to let her cry for a few minutes before checking on her since we knew she had all her calories for the day so we weren't leaving her hungry. We also started playing the same song each night as we prep for bed and if she's fussy that seems to calm her down since she knows what's happening. I also know it's not all because of that and we got _extremely_ lucky. Also just be OK with walking away during a meltdown for a moment. There were times my patience was near the limit and I'd just put her in the bassinet and walk away for 60 seconds and that'd be enough to regroup and get back to trying to calm her down.

Skwirl posted:I've used up my free WaPo articles for the month, could you quote the first paragraph or two? Sure: WaPo posted:In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore’s candidacy if she went public. And of course, it was a concerted effort: quote:That same day, Gateway Pundit, a conservative site, spread a false story from a Twitter account, @umpire43, that said, “A family friend in Alabama just told my wife that a WAPO reporter named Beth offer her 1000$ to accuse Roy Moore.” The Twitter account, which has a history of spreading misinformation, has since been deleted. And finally, the money shot; undone because she could afford moving to New York to own libs on her own: quote:Alice Crites, a Post researcher who was looking into Phillips’s background, found the document that strongly reinforced the reporters’ suspicions: a Web page for a fundraising campaign by someone with the same name. It was on the website GoFundMe.com under the name Jaime Phillips. So they were caught manufacturing actual fake news and are now probably going to claim that this article, about them making fake news, is fake news and a non-trivial portion of the electorate is going to believe it.
