"Everybody loves babies; they're cute and sweet and they smell good."

"One of the first movements we have developmentally is being on your belly and lifting your head up."

"We knew we were supposed to be putting our baby on her belly and we put her on her belly and she screamed and cried so we took her off her belly.'"

"When was the last time you walked around with your hands up like the police were after you?"

"Strollers are bad. That doesn't mean I didn't own two different strollers, but strollers aren't as good as they could be..."

"You can't teach them how to walk, that's the coolest thing. It's my first question at a workshop is 'who taught you how to walk?'"

"If the baby is in the bed with you and the baby gets hungry, the baby will find he nipple on his own. Babies are smart."

"Pre-Pampers, when you had to clean and wash your own diapers, there was an incentive to get children out of diapers."
