Having a baby isn’t a steep learning curve, it’s a death slide into the unknown. You think you’ve got it all sorted, then you bring your miniature person home and realise you know NOTHING. But through trial and error you start to figure out what works for your little one and, like a death slide, things even out. You feel like you know what you’re doing, start to enjoy it and even (secretly and smugly) wonder if you might actually be good at it. Then your baby grows into a new phase, everything changes, and you plummet into confusion again. We’re currently figuring out how to manage a mobile baby, but before I forget all the stuff I learned about keeping a baby-baby happy I want to share it here.
