Here's a freebie: one I never put in the book, but all the spare clothing change advice made me think of it: I always wore something dark to pediatrician visits where they were getting shots. I learned my lesson when they'd get a shot in both legs as infants and they'd instantly start screaming so I'd pick them up to hold them, only to get the blood from their legs on my shirt.

I love all the advice! It's the little things people never tell you because they are too worried about if your baby is wearing a hat or not.

My advice is pack a spare change of clothes for you. I can't even count how many times I remembered to pack clothes for my baby, but not me. Any time I forget, he's stay perfectly clean but I'd get spit up on, a diaper would blow, his lunch would spill. Never failed.

Don't know if I'm still eligible for the prize, but I will say:
1) Both of my kids slept thru the night by 3 months BUT: that meant my hubby never really fully understood my exhaustion. He only had to get up a handful of times before I went back to work and he shared in the random night wakeups. I did not forget, I was truly blessed (and worked to get my babies on schedules) to get babies who loved to sleep like their mommy!
2) My advice? Mommyhood is not all peaches n cream and it's not some secret sisterhood (which I thought). You know your child best. Some moms will try to push their views on you and get mad when you don't listen to them, and every child is different. And sometimes you will wonder if you're crazy. You aren't. But you are a mom :) Just go w/ the flow and don't tell those other moms you think their way stinks! haha

I picked up this book last weekend! I just love it! I went back and got one for all my friends that are expecting! My advice: boys and girls are the same but different. Boys are physically exhausting and girls are mentally exhausting"!

If you send them to daycare in an outfit that you don't want to get dirty- it will. Be smart- send them to daycare in the back up outfit- then change after work to go out.

Thanks for sharing the baby advice.
