It's great to have goals, though.<br /><br />I can only speak comprehensively from experience on one of these (since Noah's childhood is obviously far from over), but the goal of no screen time before age 1 is definitely doable. Noah's 19 months now, and we just started letting him watch a couple of shows on Netflix (Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street). He watches them sometimes on the weekends when we are desperate to get stuff done around the house without him underfoot or as a special treat just because. He typically doesn't watch any television during the week.<br /><br />We've also had a great experience sleepwise with Noah, and I highly recommend the Baby Whisperer books and Happiest Baby on the Block for establishing good sleep habits. He has been sleeping in his own room since a few days after we brought him home, and we have our routine down to an art form at this point. Of course, it could change during the toddler years, but we've always put him down awake, and now he's totally used to it and doesn't need us to rock him to sleep, sing 100 songs or whatever.<br /><br />Anyway, just know that your list isn't unrealistic. There's nothing on here that made me think, "Haha, just WAIT until she's actually a mom!"Misty Mathewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970096245456396556noreply@blogger.com
