"This is hands-down my favorite YouTube video with ""advice."" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi7lDp7x2lU

I think it perfectly captures the love and laughter that goes along with the journey. Sometimes, the most perfect plans just fly out the window, and you've got to laugh about it. "

The quickest way to get a child's attention is to sit down and look comfortable!

Word on the street is, you are supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps...

"RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARGARITA:

So, full disclosure, I'm not a parent, but I do have nieces and nephews. From what I have observed, I would say, get sleep whenever you can. Also, get used to mess...a lot of mess.

The best advice I can offer is to recognize that every baby is different and not to over-focus on every piece of advice you get but rather follow your instincts as they won't steer you wrong.

I don't have kids of my own, but I hear sleeping when the baby sleeps is the way to go. :)

Be cautious of parenting advice! By the state of the planet I would follow your own path :) Honestly, you will know what to do, trust yourself.

You already have everything you need to be great parents; trust your instincts.  Always remember that you turned french fries into toe nails.  YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!!

Take it one day at a time and make sure to lean on and build your parent community to help you make the parenting journey easier!

Also, I'm so excited you're doing cloth diapers!  You probably know, but you can/should get liners for them that are easily flushable.

What really worked for us is pumping, which allows the dad to really be a part of caring and bonding with baby.  The Kiind system worked EXTREMELY well for us - you can pump directly into the bag, and then either freeze it or attach a bottle nipple to it - no need to transfer between bags and bottles!

Let baby Mendoza listen to languages you aren't planning on teaching him yourself, even for a little bit.  Just hearing unfamiliar sounds at a developmental stage might give him a leg up if he ever chooses to learn a language later in life (like hearing the four tones in Mandarin, a rolling r in Spanish, or a nasal vowel in Portuguese).

My only advice is don't read too much on the internet and anything goes :)!!

Know that there is no one "right way" to do any of this. Figure out what works for you and for your baby. And it might be what other people say or not. It might be what's in books or not. And definitely feel free to ask for advice or ideas from others- including all of us at work when you need it!

There is tons of excellent advice out there so find the experts you want to follow and friends you want to ask but ultimately trust your gut.
