How was bringing the little one home ?

Question

Hello mommy’s this is to my already mommas. 
First time mom. I’m almost there! I can’t wait. Moms, how was it bringing your baby home and getting ready for their first app? Do tell ! Waking up ? Getting ready ? Getting baby ready ?

Answer

I agree with everything everyone has said, plan ahead and get diaper bag ready night before. I also would nurse a tad bit before I needed to leave just to top baby off! My pediatrician always left us the room after the appointment so we could feed before we left too (I had to do that once or twice!).

Answer

Hello! It was great. Hilarious. Lots of mistakes. Lots of great plans that didn’t go as we expected. Have lots of patience. Be kind to yourself and your partner. Pack extra everything. Give yourself plenty of time. Don’t rush yourself unnecessarily. Do whatever you need to do to stay zen when your child cries. You are going to do great and learn a lot along the way!

Answer

The art of getting out the door is timing. Diaper bag stocked the night before and have the carseat sitting next to it. Babies outfit, heck even yours. nurse/pump before you leave. I exclusively pump.so I always have a manual in my diaper bag. Eventually you'll get to where you can be out the door in 10min. But it just takes a little planning.

Answer

Just being organized prior to baby was key for me.   Then like getting up and getting ready was fine.  Because I definitely didn’t have the mind set to get dolled up.  It’s ok to be in sweats.   You won’t be judged going to baby’s first appointment.   Also be strong when baby needs to be poked for newborn screen or jaundice test.  Make sure to feed baby prior to pokes.    And remember they’re just doing their job (I’m a phlebotomist so when a parent has trust in me it goes way smoother) don’t feel bad if you don’t want to leave the house for awhile but definitely if you’re feeling up to it get out and walk.  Good for you and baby. Fresh air.   Good luck mama.  It will all be fine

Answer

It’s overwhelming , but you’ll get the hang of it ! and the first appt they will check the weight , and see how the little babe is doing and such . trust me it isn’t that scary . I was scared as shit being 19 with my first , but honestly it came so natural it was like I’ve been doing it all my life 😂😂
