Don't listen to the advice of others.

oopsalittle says,

good one mary -
I gave that same advice to my daughter recently when she became a mum

MrsPremise says,

Haha! I didn't think about that!
Mine is, "Be their greatest cheerleader."

oopsalittle says,

that's fabulous too

Bevvie says,

Sleep when the baby (or babies) sleep. Someone gave me this advice and I learned to use it happily. You have to weed through the advice and keep the flowers.

MrsPremise says,

Bevvie, that's so true. Lot's of sleepless years, weren't they?

favepeep says,

Always remember that you love them, even when they're not lovable. And let them know that you do and always will. Cuz you're the mom, that's why!

Believe says,

You are never going to feel like you know what you are doing. Parent your own way. Some parental victories are others' parental failures. Learn what works for you.

MrsPremise says,

All good advice. Thank you everyone! I'm hoping to be a Gramdma before too long.
