White noise and soft lights are amazing. The trick is to find something that simulates being in the womb for the baby. I have one recommendation that you absolutely _must_ get. Best investment I've ever made: http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Wonders-Soothe-Seahorse/dp/B0028QKPMW http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Wonders-Soothe-Seahorse/d... You would not believe how much more sleep we got after picking up one of those. My daughter just turned one and we still use it every night and for her naps. In terms of general advice, just be prepared to be exhausted beyond your expectations. I was working at a startup when my daughter was born and ended up going back to work shortly after, it was very challenging to say the least. The best advice I can give you is don't fool yourself into thinking you're going to be getting a lot of things done, the change of pace is astonishing when you come to realization that you brought something amazing into the world that is 100% dependent on you for survival. Its no longer about you. Enjoy being a parent, its an amazing experience.
