I guess it really depends on the family, although one language per parent has always been the golden rule for babies (to promote bilingualism). When my son was younger, our friends & neighbours tend to be English speaking. Now I am desperately looking for Chinese speaking friends for my son, as fellow parents here has reminded me the importance of peer influences.
As for reading and writing, do start to read to your child as early as possible, and in both languages. I think when my son was younger and I was still speaking to him mainly in English, I was already reading to him in Chinese as well (since my husband cannot read in Chinese). It may sound odd but books can really cross many borders, and we are still reading in both languages comfortably today ;)
