Any TD parenting advice?

First 3 weeks are fricking BRUTAL. Nobody is sleeping and you're both trying to figure out how to handle this massive shift in your lives. You will argue and bitch. Just stay patient. I have memories of throwing binkies across the room because I was getting so frustrated while mine learned how to sleep. After 3-4 weeks you should start getting 4 hour chunks of sleep and it's much more reasonable.

After that it comes pretty naturally. Just trust your instincts. You'll be learning as you go but it's pretty hard to mess up really badly if you love the kid.
