Read to your child and eat with them at the table for family dinner's every day. Teach your child constantly with love and patience. Put music into his life. Build his ego. Always make him feel good about himself. Never cut him down. Don't hit him. Teach him about some kind of spirituality on a regular basis as young as you possibly can. Teach him good moral values, and most important of all, teach him manners!!!! Please, thank you, opening doors for others, kindness to others, remembering people's birthdays with cards and tokens, teach him all of that. Teach him how to cook. And make sure that he knows that whatever he wants to be in life, you will love him and support him, always.

Breast feed if you can. Teach to embrace being embraced and loved. Tell him you love him, (all the time). Never say; 'Boys don't...."

you will be sooo thrilled when your child starts to walk, and talk then you will spend the rest of the time telling them to be quiet and sit still ;D
truly, the best advise I can offer is to love them unconditionally and teach them well. Congrats and enjoy life, it will be filled with many a wonderful and challenging times from here to eternity.Like (2)

for a newborn my advice is to accept help if offered with all the mundane things...don't try to do to much,
my advice for the years to come...start off as you mean to carry on..that'll save many problems thru the toddler years and also as they get older.Like (1)

Being the youngest of three, that is already very important to me, I was always meshed into my siblings growing up and it is already very important to me for my child and future children to have the own individuality. additionally giving them the respect and patience they deserve. Thanks for the advice. :)

I have 6 children of my own. The best advise I can give anyone is...Your experience will be your own, make the best you can for yourself and your family. Some may say you have sleepless nights..pehaps but maybe not. When I was preganat with my twins everyone had something to say and usually what it was, was to make me fearful. I chose then that my experience would be my own. Don't compare yourself to anyone else, and not all ideas are the greastest. Just enjoy yourself and do things exactly the way you think you should.
