comment Are there any dangers or downsides to white noise as a calming tool
This book seems to be discredited. It is not written by an expert in the appropriate field.

comment At what age should I explain to my kids that we don't believe in God?
Point 1 seems very sensible. Address cultural issues, Father Christmas, God, the Tooth Fairy, Freedom, etc as they come up.

comment How to handle my baby boy urinating in bath?
If it were 100% pee, then you could start to worry. But I'm sure a tiny bit of baby pee in a whole bath of water is nothing.

comment How to handle my baby boy urinating in bath?
I don't see an actual problem. Is he drinking the bath water? Even then, it's probably so diluted that it wouldn't be harmful. What I'm saying is that the solution is to do nothing and not worry.

What is a shoulder strap-type buggy? A sling? A backpack?

comment How to direct my one-year old baby not to do bad things
If you make clear with the intonation of your voice that playing with electricity is bad, then you don't need to beat your child. The whole idea that a child does not understand NO, so beat it seems very barbaric. You need to teach it the meaning of the word NO as well.

comment How does one address Christianity with their children in a mixed faith marriage?
Perhaps adding to this is the reason why you have those values, as certainly a child will ask. Which reason is most credible? Being able to justify your values based on well-founded reasoning is a good way of instilling good values and helping the child be adaptable to new situations.

Welcome to the dark ages. My parents are hard core Catholics and they've managed to come to grips with this issue.

comment What do you do when your child's Christmas Wishlist is full of things you cannot get her?
Lies. Lies. The whole idea of Santa's factory is a bit see-through. Why not just say that Santa can only bring regular toys, like the ones available in the toy shop.

It's not like you can do anything about it if it is too late. Just try.
