Practical Parents in Training
Hello! My name is James Newton. I am a new father of 2 and I've discovered that there is a TON of information out there for parenting - some of it great, and some of it not so great. The fact is, there's a lot of outdated information out there (not to say that outdated information is all bad - just simply no longer new).
I understand the journey of a new parent is full of hardships - and my hope for this blog / website is to help you find some of the most modern tips, tricks, hacks, techniques, and products to help you overcome the daily challenge that is being a new parent.
Practical Parent in Training aims to be a top level parenting blog. I hope we get there - because the journey to being a better parent NEVER ends.
The Problem: Too Much Information
It's pretty clear that there are probably a million blogs about parenting (and really - this one THAT different?). In other words - there is so much information out there and only so much time to digest it all. Wouldn't it be great to find someone who has done a lot of that research for you?
The Solution: Condense it All Down to a Reliable Set of Blogs
My hope is to make Practical Parents in Training one of the most comprehensive guides out there for looking at various issue regarding common first-time parenting issues like:
- How to help your baby sleep through the night
- What Cribs to buy
- Breastfeeding vs Formula
- Baby Safety the Home
- And a whole lot more!
