One of the things I consider when I think about raising my child is how to ensure my child is healthy and happy. The healthy part is on my mind. While the baby is inside of me, everything I do, the baby does. If I don't get enough sleep, or eat enough vegetables, the baby doesn't either. It's a lot of responsibility.
When the baby is older, I'll have to try to ensure the same needs become habits. I have to teach the baby these things. I don't want the baby to learn baby clean plate club. That is old news.
