Thought some of you guys who have raised kids and made families over here can help me out on this one.

In a few months the missus will be popping out a baby girl.

We plan to eventually settle in Australia and maintain close connections to Thailand and visit frequently.

From the little I've read, it should be English only with me and Thai only with Mum. Also watching TV or listening to music with Mum alone should be in Thai and anything together or with me should be in English.

Just thinking about the first stages here. I know a child starts to learn language as soon as they're born and want to get it right from the starts. Any tips from personal experience would be most appreciated.

The other approach would be to use English only with both parents, and just pick up Thai from the world around her. But then she'll pick up bad habits from Mum and won't end up with a cool Aussie accent.
