Sleeping, crying, and discipline -- three of the biggest issues for new parents!
"Putting an End to Sleepless Nights: A Sleep-Training Diary" is one mom's story of how she did it in only 5 days.
Ever heard of gripe water? "Smart Solutions for Soothing Baby" is full of mom-tested advice on how to calm a fussy baby -- and that's just one of them. Running the vacuum cleaner, offering a pacifier, wrapping them up in a blanket are some of the other sanity-saving solutions to that endless crying.
It's never too early to start discipline. We offer an age-by-age guide to getting your child to behave and understand the rules in "When Does Discipline Begin?"
Here's another biggie for new parents-to-be: choosing a name. Steer clear of ridiculous choices by checking out the advice in "Solving Common Baby Naming Problems". And find out what some of the celebrities are naming their babies (and why).
