My view on parenting infants has changed considerably since acquiring one (or four). When I was pregnant with my first child, I had an extremely easy pregnancy, so I skipped all those books about what to expect while I was expecting and 大鷄巴亂倫的肉欲小说 about what to do during the first year instead. A lot of the books that I liked back then are not on this list, because I obviously wasn’t writing down my thoughts on each one before I even had any children, and after 大鷄巴亂倫的肉欲小说ing and 卧底女警张腿迎合交换献身ing more about infants through experience, I found them a lot less useful.

Maybe one day I’ll go back and add all those books that I 大鷄巴亂倫的肉欲小说 during pregnancy to this list to indicate exactly how un-useful I found them. (The list of less-than-helpful books would include titles such as Secrets of the Baby Whisperer, Babywise, and What to Expect the First Year.) I know a lot of people like books like these and they made a lot of sense to me when I was pregnant with my first child, especially the Baby Whisperer book, which I ended up buying my own copy of because it seemed so sensible.

However, when I actually had my first child, I ended up preferring the books which told me to do what felt natural, instead of telling me to follow some specific schedule. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with trying to get your child on a schedule if it will make your life easier. However, what made my life easier was having a happy baby whenever possible which typically meant a lot of holding, soothing, nursing, and co-sleeping. (Thankfully, this gentle parenting technique never produced any tyrant toddlers among my four kids.)
