[quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing as “parenting” in the abstract. Different developmental ages are so different that a person who excels with infants may not be good at preschoolers and vice versa. That said, all infants are born not having practice with digestion or putting themselves to sleep. Your job in the first year is just to scaffold that for them, slowly preparing them for independence on those two fronts. I would at focus on the feeding/digestion and sleeping, and educate yourself about how the digestive system develops and how the brain develops for sleep. That will answer a lot of your questions. After the baby is a bit older then other things become more important, but in the fourth trimester you’ll be lucky if they get tummy time a bit in between feeding, naps, and burping. Good luck![/quote]
