Best source of advice i think you'll ever get is from taking to other mums. Definately go to a playgroup or mums group of some sort when you have bubs, i have 2 sister with same age kids as my daughter (all within 6wks of each other) and they were a great source of help but other mums have so much helpful information to give, if you dont like their advice then dont take it but this way you get so many different perspectives whereas a book only provides one.

Good luck
