mooglenet_backup[Steiner has been thinking about this for some time. Garnet is with child and becoming more obviously pregnant by the day. Zidane still isn't here. That kind of... makes Steiner the default father. At least in his head. He will be responsible for the infant prince or princess just as he has been for Garnet.
Only... babies aren't really Steiner's area of expertise...]
I would like to request some advice! Are there any parents here who might offer their wisdom?My queen I have a friend who is expecting her first child. Since her husband disappeared, she has been left with the heavy burden of bringing up the child alone.
I would offer what assistance I can, but my knowledge of parenting is limited. Should anyone be willing to help, I would be most grateful!

Babies need a lot of attention. Cause a lot of lost sleep, too.
I can't really say that much about it, though. It's been years, and I wasn't really around much when my son was that young.

Date: 2011-04-17 03:43 pm (UTC)[HOW DO YOU BRING UP BABY. Otherwise Steiner is totally going to think that every crying tantrum is an emergency.]

Date: 2011-04-17 03:55 pm (UTC)When he was newly born, my son spent a great deal of the day in sleep, waking only to receive milk. In contrast, he was awake far more during the night. Several months passed before his routine altered fully and his sleep pattern regulated.
Crying is their only means of communication; often you must try a number of solutions before the correct one is found. Hunger and changing are the most frequent. As for safety... Ensure comfort. When they begin to crawl, the location must be free of any dangers.

Date: 2011-04-17 09:18 pm (UTC)Rusty, all you gotta remember is babies need drink, food, warmth, baths, clean diapers, sleep, burping and cuddles.
Cuddles are real important.

Date: 2011-04-18 09:59 pm (UTC)Trust in yourself, and trust in the child's mother. You will make mistakes, but just like any other skill in life -- whether it be mastering a weapon or riding a chocobo -- you will learn. If you truly care for the child's wellbeing, it matters little how much experience you have. The most important thing a child needs is love.
