New parents and parents-to-be are often bombarded by well-meaning advice. This barrage typically begins from family, friends & co-workers approximately 1.5 seconds after once first announces their pregnancy, but widens to include strangers on the bus, the clerk at the store check-out and other assorted folks at around 7 months, or whenever the baby bump becomes quite obvious.
The advice, of course, ranges from the commonplace "Always put baby on their back to sleep!", to humourous tales about baby poop/spit-up to downright bizarre things you never thought you'd hear; "If you reach your arms above your head while pregnant, the cord will wrap around the baby's neck!"
This brings us to our Wisdom Question for this week;
"What is the most bizarre bit of parenting or pregnancy advice you were told- but found actually useful?" (Oh, c'mon, we know what it's like ... 2 am, no sleep, you'll even try that weird "trick" your Great Aunt Ethel gave you!)
