Parenting Tips Link Dump
When my wife was pregnant with our daughter I started collecting useful advice from the internet and filing it away to apply when she was born. In the happy chaos of the last few years I did not have the opportunity to sort through, much less index and apply any of these helpful tips. Finally I managed to organize it into a rough structure for quick reference and share it up here for other parents and parents-to-be to use as well.
