Are you better receiving the Australian Baby Bonus or do you get a better financial result with the Paid Parental Scheme. It can be complicated, see below for details.
How is the Baby Bonus paid?
The baby bonus will be cut from $5400 to $5000 from September 2012, and frozen at that level for a further three years, until then the
Baby Bonus is paid per eligible child in 13 fortnightly instalments. From 1 July 2011, customers eligible to receive Baby Bonus will get a higher first instalment of $879.77 and 12 fortnightly instalments of approximately $379.77. The higher first instalment of Baby Bonus will assist with the upfront costs of having a new child.

Great Baby Sleep Book
I have been reading this book and candefinitely recommend it.
Its called "The No Cry Sleep Solution : Gentle Ways to help your baby sleep through the night", written by Elizabeth Pantley and William Sears.
Although its an American Book, the principles still apply. I ordered mine online from Amazon, paid around $30 incl of postage.
Worth a read!

I managed to get some extracts of the book for my baby website, and will be sure to grab a copy when I have my next baby.
