What is the best advice?

This past week we asked our Facebook fans and Twitter followers if they had any suggestions for Cody, who wanted to use the baby sling in cold weather. Check out the responses by clicking here or check out the picture on the left.

We got great ideas! So thanks, everyone, for the input. I was wondering, what other advice have you received that was really helpful? I imagine this will be like that bridal shower game where you put advice about marriage in a fancy jar for the bride-to-be to take home, but probably with less-racy ideas!

I think the best advice I got was from the instructor in my prenatal class before my first child. She said every mom needs a swing. When you have tried everything you can think to help when the baby is upset, put the baby in the swing and walk away for 5 minutes. Then come back and try again. I only had to do this a handful of times, but it really made a difference in my confidence level and my ability to try new things. I would think of something new or my baby would calm down. So what "best advice" do you have? Please share. We all want to know!
