FTMs share what you’ve already learned!

What tricks have you learned with your newborn that you can share?

Here are a few of mine:

-I breastfeed until 3pm and formula feed evening and night. She’s so much less gassy / fussy at night since we started doing this!

-At night I feed her, stop halfway to change her /reswaddle her, then finish feeding her. If I reswaddle or diaper her last it wakes her up. Feeding her last calms her back down so I can put her back in the bassinet.

- We have pacifiers everywhere. If my husband is making a bottle of formula at 4am and she gets impatient, there’s a pacifier within 6 feet of him.
