So do you ladies with babies, have any valuable advice on things to have on hand right away that might otherwise be over looked?
not really lol x
baby wipes are a no no, cotton wool and water much kinder on new born skin. Williams ass was bleeding leaving the hospital after Johnson wipes. Never had no bother after that and moved on to sensitive wipes at a few months old and he has never had a rash since that time.
You will always need more jam rags than you think at the hospital.
you will always have your washing machine one! constantly lol make sure you have a tumble theres so much peeing to be done. use a change mat my sofa was wreaked with pee as I was being lazy and just changed him there. If possible wear a wet suit at nappy changing times.
Everyone will say "oh you know it all now you have this and that to come" sod that your to happy to listen to them by this stage
No one cares how mum is
all want to see baby. spit in their tea
They will come in droves, you will be tired and narky but like getting gifts don't worry they will leave sooner than they arrive and never to be seen again some of them. Then you will be a bit lonely after that wondering why no one visit. Because your house smells of wee
Avoid mums who think they know it all, nice to get advice but theres the type that only their way is the right way and you will want to kill them. from why are you folding a sheet like that to advice on what you shouldnt be doing
and that they didnt do that and thats not right. If you dont listen they give up and get offended and go away. Not worth arguing over unless you feel like you wanna fight.
Oh as for baby things enjoy, its the greatest feeding in the world and it does last and you will enjoy it even if you are half asleep and starving and have a baby attached to you and just want to pooh in peace and change your name to daisy the cow
you will enjoy! because its yours thats why
