My wife and I are expecting a daughter, due on Christmas (had it been a boy, I would've insisted on naming him Jesus and then declared myself God, but alas…).
Everyone we talk to has advice. And as many of these people have children who are intact and not incarcerated, it seems worth taking.
(It doesn't take much to know more about parenting than I do: the one time in my life I tried to change a diaper, I ended up with mookie sticks on the floor and a 2-year-old mocking me.)
The problem is that the advice often contradicts what someone else suggested just hours earlier. So far the only consistent guidance we've received about our child is never let it near bright light, never a let water touch it and never ever feed it after midnight (but I might be thinking about something else).
