everything is so new w/ a new baby. i do a lot of reading, but i think a lot of “knowing” what to do is common sense and what feels right. every baby is different, so the books/websites are just guides but i do look to them for advice. i know that i fall back on my own upbringing and values my parents have—her dad has some different opinions on child-rearing, so i’m anticipating some challening times in her future.
