Babysitting my nieces for the past couple of months has taught me so much. Not only what to do but also what not to do. My nieces are sweet and cute little ladies and I love them so much. But, they have no structure and the older one is getting pretty bratty. I really don't want my daughter to be like that.
Here's a list of a few things I want to do with my baby girl.
Baby sleeps in her own bed. Co-sleeping is great and has its benefits but for us personally we don't have the room to let baby sleep in our bed. Plus, we have three dogs who have been sleeping in our bed their whole lives and I don't see them stopping after baby arrives.
Only food belongs in baby's mouth. Keep hands and other objects out (unless she's teething). This is where I feel a pacifier could help. Yes, it's gross that she will suck on a piece of plastic but at least if she has that in her mouth she can't put anything else in there.
Potty train early. Madison will be three in April and can go the bathroom by herself (I believe she started peeing on the potty soon after she turned one) and it's great. I really want to do that with my baby. Changing diapers sucks.
I'm sure I will think of more later but that's all for now.
