Every parent knows that when you welcome a new child into your life, you should probably be prepared for every person you meet to give you some unsolicited advice…
While some of that advice will be invaluable, a lot of it is purely opinion-based — and you have to take it as just that. In Finland, every new mother gets this "starter box" to help her newborn get the same start in life as any other baby born in the country. However, it's also a pretty great way to help out parents who might not even know where to start with their new little one. Sometimes, a little help isn't such a bad thing.
There are some new parents out there who leave nothing to surprise. They read all the baby books, they've seen all the videos, they have everything prepared. Then there are the women who don't even know they're pregnant until the baby is ready to come out. Needless to say, every new parent does things differently…
After a few years, or by your second child, everything changes. The clueless parents become confident and the uptight ones tend to relax a little. There are so many things to be learned and passed along, which is why the people at Extra Space Storage decided to ask parents both new and old to give their best piece of parenting advice.
What they say may surprise you, but make sure you watch until the end. #1 is guaranteed to melt your heart.
