>how does a new parent find time for this? Speaking as a new parent, we have a knack for lighting our time (and sanity) on fire in order to provide things of marginal value to the baby. I'm talking things like boiling water before making formula, sterilising bottles and dummies, installing and then looking at baby monitors, feeding baby at regular intervals (even in the middle of the night), making the latest "Montessori" toys and cloth nappies, etc. etc. Anything that helps us fruitlessly burn ourselves out to the point that quality time with our newborn is seen as yet another problem will be welcomed with open arms.
