Look, I'm not an expert OR even a parent, so definitely don't listen to me for parenting advice. But it's also probably a good idea not to listen to any of this advice that used to be given to new and soon-to-be parents.
Here are 13 bits of out-of-date parenting advice:
1. Give your baby a lard bath.

2. Don't be worried or angry.

3. Drink a pint of Guinness a day if you're pregnant.
4. Don't hug your child!

5. Don't give your child a 'soft' name.
6. Get straight to toilet training.
7. Put your baby out the window in a cage.

8. Ignore your crying babies or they will become socialists.

9. Babies were given opium to soothe their teething.
