Good advice.  I have heard that kids are easy to shoot, it isnt really to do with the technicalities of using the camera, but getting the kid relaxed - they have natural expressions all the time, so no need to "pose" them, so just get snapping and somethig will definitely come of it!

On a side note - i have a baby portrait of me hung outside my room in the coridor (my mum put it there). I'm looking all cute in my christening gown, but to get my hands together in a pose the photographer apparently used sticky tape to stick them together - you can see it on the photo if you look close enough! (I wouldnt recommend doing that in your shoot tho btw )
