You won’t find a cheat sheet tucked under the hospital bed. Instead, here’s some seasoned advice that goes beyond the clichés of sugar and screen time.

So you’re wondering: how does one cater to these little bundles of joy? First, let’s start with the basics. As all-knowing as you are—thanks to endless baby forums—it never hurts to revisit simplicity.

How do you know if you’re doing it right? If you’ve ever found yourself laughing at something other people might consider insanity, congratulations, you're officially a parent-in-training.
