Intermediate
The language of babies may be mysterious, but the customs of parenthood are universal. Granted, the open crotch pants of babies in China save on diaper changes, but all parents run the gauntlet of feedings, sleepless nights and the task of coming up with creative inducements to slumber. This podcast walks you through another time-honored parental tradition... that of sharing your woes with a friend--this time, in Mandarin Chinese.

But there are a lot of things I still have to do myself. For example, nursing. I breast-feed, so it really consumes a lot of energy.
