Best parenting tip you ever got?

Obviously I'm not being unreasonable to ask 🤷‍♀️

Mine was from some friends who had older kids.
Always double the sheets/plastic sheet in baby/toddler bed.

It's saved us in the middle of the night on countless occasions.

Best tip I ever got was to remember that you will get some normal amounts of sleep again, it does return to a semblence of normality! : )

And a swift dig into the ribs of my husband at 3am to remind him it's his turn to see to the crying baby. 😂

My father in Law suggested we call our son, Gotham.
I looked confused. He said that whenever I wanted my husband to get up to feed the baby, I simply had to say "Gotham calls."

Corniest dad joke ever!

Treat your children with respect and expect the same back.
