That Raising Children DVD is actually pretty good...

You know the one? They give it to you at the hospital.

They really should give it out earlier, and then perhaps people would watch it! I watched it when my baby was about 2 months old, and I wished I'd known a lot of the stuff a bit earlier. (For example, how to wash bottles and prepare formula, mothers stories about how breastfeeding was difficult/didn't work.)

I told everyone at my mothers group, and they all came back the next week (after watching it) and said the same thing. The families in it are great, Dave Hughes is funny, and it makes you feel a little bit more confident, as the people in it didn't know what they were doing either!

The Raising Children Network website is also very good. Check it out!
