Soliciting advice

[kate_nepveu]

Okay, if you've been bursting to give us advice related to FutureBaby, here's your chance:

1. Is there any downside to cribs that turn into twin- or full-sized beds?
2. If you could only give me one piece of advice, what would it be?

Nb.: unsolicited advice remains unwelcome.

2. Stop reading childraising books. They will make you feel insecure and depressed. Unless some emergency happens -- and you'll know it -- your baby will teach you what s/he needs you to know.

Hah! We haven't *started* reading childrearing books!

(I haven't even read all the way to the end of my pregnancy book yet, because I am A Worrier and am trying to manage the amount of information I have to worry about.)

I plan to ask for recs for _sensible_ books later, not go off into parenting-advice land without a reliable guide. I will at least want an infant health-type book, for the stuff analogous to "no honey" that we don't know yet.
