New Parenting Tips
Keep
Baby asleep whilst checking him/her at night
Buy a small touch light and place it in your dressing gown
pocket. When you go in to check your baby through the night,
you won't have to turn on the main light, just press your
light in the pocket and it will provided enough light/glow
to see your baby without waking them up.

Be
prepared for sickness when starting child care and kindy
One thing that no one told me before my daughter started

months now and has been sick non stop with colds and flus.

it was still quite a shock to begin with.
