As I’m a month away from welcoming our first baby into the world, I’ve read two of Tracy’s books and (theoretically) am an avid fan! They were recommended to me by two girlfriends who have almost 1 year olds. The fact that they implemented the suggestions and they work speak volumes to me. I’m hopeful we can set up a good routine in our home.

It’s interesting that you bring up the “start as you mean to go on” concept. Josh and I were talking about that even as a practice for our family traditions. I recognize there will be an adjustment period, but we fully intend on setting up date nights as soon as possible. And making family time together. And having daddy-baby bonding time. And holiday traditions. Etc, etc. I think it’s important in parenting and for family traditions.

btw, I know a lot of people who had issues with “cute love taps” that they had to untrain later.
