Don't you love the advice you get when you are a mother?  From relatives, aunts, uncles, mothers, cousins. . . from friends and neighbors. . . from strangers in the grocery store. . . from books, magazine and websites.  So many people feel free to give advice to mothers.

Occasionally the advice is just what we need.  But so many times, the shoe just doesn't fit. Below is a selection of some of the worst advice given to mothers of babies.  I hope it gives you a chuckle.
