I would have read The Wonder Weeks before baby arrived. I read it when she was about 2 months old, and I'm now sorry that I didn't know all that stuff for her first 3 or 4 "wonder weeks" - the really early ones. I would have loved to have understood better what was going on for her in that time.

I would have bought an Ergo carrier earlier, rather than assuming that because the sling/wrap that I borrowed didn't work for us, there were no carriers that would for for a large newborn.
