Toddler in SlingAs soon as people hear that you are going to become a parent they start hurling advice in your direction. Buy this! Use that! You have to learn how... If you sat down and wrote down every single piece of advice that came your way from the moment you find out you're going to be a mom to the moment your baby is safely snuggled in your arms you'd have enough for an entire book. And if you did the same with the information and advice given to you after your baby comes home, well then you'd have enough for a second book.

Problem is, most of that advice is contradictory. For every person who tells you to carry your infant one way three others will tell you to do it a different way. And for every baby product that comes highly endorsed by a friend a scientific study or a product review will tell you to put it down quickly before you hurt yourself, your baby, or both of you.

Baby faceLittle babies are not big fans of change. In fact, they often have trouble dealing with transitions like going from being warmly and snuggly dressed to being half naked for a diaper change. Singing rhyming songs can help your baby tolerate and even learn to anticipate transitions.

Diaper changes aren't the only events that can upset a young baby. There are many other such transitions in the course of a regular day, like bath time or getting dressed. Add to that the fact that babies are not exactly patient by nature and you can see why a baby's day is chock full of stressful times.
