Anyway, we ended up having twins, so I needed "soothers" to help ME from going crazy trying to manage 2 infants. We seem to have these ideas about parenting before it happens, and things end up being a lot different "in practice" compared to the before, "in theory". I too wanted to mention how much "The Happiest Baby on the Block" helped me get through those first few months...my infants went from sleeping not-so-much, to sleeping most of the time (which is what infants should be doing...and sleeping less and less as time goes on). This (sleeping a lot) also seems to be one of natures "built in" sanity-protectors as far as the parents emotional stability is concerned in the early days of stumbling through parenthood.
