What is the best tip you have for a mom to be?

I have a 2 year old, and just found out number 2 is on its way. If ive learned anything, its that I definately could use more tricks, Im clever, but it seems like all the old ladies have all the right tricks up their sleeves. For example, my two year old is potty training, and the first time he soiled his new spiderman undees, i really had no idea how i would clean them out before throwing them in the wash, except flushing anything big and swishing them in the sink a while to rinse them off. In comes my mother in law, and asks me why i didnt just hold them by the waist band dangling in the toilet and flushed it, letting the water run through them. GENIUS! I never would have thought of that.

So, what kind of tricks do you got? Its interesting to see what people have to say.

    Um, no, you don't want to drug your kids, even if it's just an "herbal" remedy, although if they have a tummy ache, it's fine to treat that, but I take offense at the concept of "knocking them out" with an herbal drink.

    You should be very careful what you feed your children these days because there is all kinds of pollution making its way into the processed food supply. Fluoride, for example, will cause girls to hit puberty as much as a year sooner than girls who are not exposed to any fluoride.

    You should definitely read the book "Discipline with Love" by James C. Dobson. It's a quick read and will give you a very helpful understanding that will save you a lot of effort in the long run.

    Get them used to a daily routine and schedule. This will save you lots of time when you need them to be ready to go somewhere. Use an alarm clock or an old cell phone to signal when it's time to get ready for bed, for example, and train them to follow the same routine every night.
