Lessons Learned from Having a Baby


  1. Not all babies know how to suck when they are born.
  2. Nursing takes a long time- over five hours a day; with burping, diaper changes, and a drowsy baby stretching it to 8 hours a day.
  3. Sitting after an episiotomy hurts really bad- especially when you do it eight hours a day.
  4. I'm hungry as often as baby is.
  5. Leaving the house to travel takes twice as long.
  6. Going to bed takes 3 times as long and may not ever happen some nights.
  7. Pros to formula feeding that I didn't think of before: takes less time, no need to supplement with vitamin D, you don't have to be careful with what you eat, less diapers to change.
  8. Pros to disposable diapers I didn't think of before: the blue line on disposables makes it easy to check for a wet diaper, they are less bulky so clothes fit better, they are quicker to change.
  9. New apps I couldn't live without:
Feed Baby
White Noise
