Here is a list of thirteen decisions you’ll have to make after the baby is born, and one before. What are some of your thoughts on these topics?

5 cloth diapers or store-bought diapers (pampers, cruisers, etc)
6 Who will wake up with the baby?
7 Where will the baby sleep? Crib, your bed, etc
8 How long will you wait before company can come over to meet the baby?
9 spanking or positive discipline
10 Working mom vs Stay at home mom
11 If you choose to work, how do you decide on a babysitter?
12 home daycare vs daycare center
13 public school vs homeschool

2、 帮你的孩子取个名字。
3、 如果你生了个儿子，你会不会帮他举行割礼？
4、 母乳喂养还是奶瓶喂养
5、 用棉布尿裤还是店里买的纸尿裤（帮宝适、Cruiser还是其他牌子的）
