I'm mostly just making it up as I go along. It works out fine. :) We did take a few classes, which was good for me. Probably stuff my wife already knew. (How to swaddle, how to change diapers, massage techniques to alleviate pain during contraction, and general what to expect stuff.) Food for mommy - they decided my wife had gestational diabetes, so carb intake was regulated a bit. The numbers were borderline so I'm not sure it was an actual issue. But I got to play with the USDA nutrition database to work out numbers for my recipes. The food for baby stuff comes later, but it was important to me to make our own food. I started with the River Cottage Baby Cookbook. It'll be mommy milk for a while, then simple purées, then more complex stuff. No salt for a while. I froze stuff in silicone ice cube trays, so we'd have easy portions to pull out of the freezer. If you like to cook, read Hungry Monkey. It's a fun "foodie raising baby" anecdote.
