hey you do what you feel comfortable doing. And if you want to have your baby cuddled up against you that is the best. It keeps the both of you calm.
As for sleeping in the crib…that is awesome.

Vu, thanks for your comment.

Testing the social media waters – by brute force as you say – can be more cost effective. But it can cost you in terms of time if you end up using the wrong social media tools to reach your audience. One way to find out where your audience is online is to straight out ask them. It doesn’t have to be an expensive process either. It could be a simple as asking them during a customer service or sales call, or looking at their website to see if they have a blog or Twitter account, etc. Another easy way to do this is to simply Google your company name and see if it comes up in any forums or online communities. If people are talking about your brand on these sites, you now know about it and can respond appropriately. By doing this bit of research upfront, you know exactly where your customers are, what they’re saying about you (if anything) and where you should invest your social media resources.

There are two ways you can find out if your audience is using social media (as I see it), one is through brute force and the other is through opinion research. By brute force I mean try out the social media out there and see if you get any tractions (followers, commenters, etc.). I like brute force as it provide a risk-free environment to “test the waters” and you can back out at anytime.

It is great to see that you are enjoying motherhood and spending time with your daughter. After all, there are too many of us that busy ourselves and neglect our futre: our children. It is essential that we take the time to nurture and bond with them from very early on as it roots them mentally, emotionally and psychologically for success! Just my 0.01 cent as I’m not yet a parent :-p

Thanks for sharing the link to my post; I’m glad you enjoyed it. You are absolutely right in that too many companies jump in to social media without knowing where their customers are. Like you said, Facebook may not be a good choice if a majority of customers are hanging out on user forums, for example. A good social media strategy always starts with people – and part of that is knowing where they are online.
