I highly recommend the book “On Becoming Baby Wise” to all new parents. It will make months 2-10 easier to a truly amazing degree.
The book talks about the routine of sleeping, eating, and being awake. My wife and I didn’t get the book ’til our daughter was 10 weeks old, but within a matter of days our baby went from sleeping 3 hours at a time to sleeping 6-7 hours at night. And it got better from there. I was extremely grateful to the person who recommended this book to me, and everybody to whom I’ve recommended it has felt the same way. If you get the book before the big day (and oh, what a day it is!) and follow its instruction, you’ll be very glad you did.
