One piece of advice I would give to the mother is to let the baby get the needed amount of sleep. Babies need at least 17 hours of sleep a day, and I think mothers tend to freak out if they get too much/not enough sleep. Along with the sleeping issue, I don't think that mothers should co-sleep for very long after birth. I feel like a child should be dependent and by co-sleeping the mother will be very dependant early on. Another thing I would tell the mother is that they need to have their child in an enriched environment, this will allow the child to grow mentally and phyically.
