IS ANY NEW PARENT GOING TO ANSWER “NO” TO THE QUESTION: “IS HE/SHE A GOOD BABY?”

When entering parenthood for the first time, there is a gamut of information out there on what to expect (including the somewhat fear-mongering series of books by that very name). You anticipate the sleepless nights and all ours of the day rocking and feeding and changing.
