I thought this would be a nice place to aggregate lists of miscellaneous parenting tips, organized by age. Maybe if this gathers lots of good input, I’ll post another age group in a few days. If nobody is into the idea, no big deal.
Let’s start with babies 4-6 months old, since newborns are way to fucking complicated!
Suggestion: post a single tip per comment, so people can up/downvote each tip, rather than long comments with lots of ideas. May the best advice float to the top!
By this age we had started reading to him at ‘bedtime’ every night (even though he was still up many times after!) so my recommendation is for the Julia Donaldson lift the flap series: rabbits nap, foxes socks etc. we’ve gone through 2-3 of them between our two kids as they were absolutely beloved and worn to a thread.
Other than that it’s a bit of a blur 😂
