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:
