Summary: 

My most popular advise to about-to-be-families:
	get Penelope Leach's Book "Your Baby and Child"
	and read first chapters before birth.

My biggest tip:
	get lots of "rubberinzed sheeting" squares for changing table and
	to lay baby's head on (if you get a spit-up'er).
	It feels like cloth and is machine washable, but absorbs
	large quantities of liquid (and semi-liquid) offerings!
	I've seen the stuff in small squares with cute patterns on it
	(but that was handme-down stuff and I don't know where it was
	bought), but is also available as cloth at bigger cloth stores.
	It is also good in that form when you start night-time toliet
	training.
