How are girls different?

Question

I have a one and a half year old son, and I'm due with a baby girl in one month! I've heard from so many people that it's completely different having a girl. Are there any tips or advice for a first time girl mom? Anything I need to look out for that I didn't have to worry about with my boy? Anything I need to buy before she gets here that I didn't have to buy with my boy (other than the obvious stuff). Thanks guys!

Answer

The easiest example is this one from my day yesterday. 
Walking out of a restaurant with my family (including my daughter (4) and a male cousin the same age). 
Both mothers of the kids say the same thing: "okay, hold hands"
Boy reaction: looks at the mom and bolts. 
Girl reaction: folds her arms and tries to argue her point about not needing, too. 
In my opinion boys are more physically demanding while girls are mentally demanding 🤣 either way, they push your buttons!

Answer

The only real difference I can think of is that vaginas are more sensitive then penises. 🤷🏼‍♀️ you have to be more careful with scented wipes and diapers and bubble baths. Also, if you see white stuff in the folds it's perfectly ok to just leave it. Don't go crazy trying to clean it out. It helps to protect everything and it's part of the vagina's self cleaning system. You'll want to wipe gently and front to back, obviously. 
Otherwise my daughter is super crazy and wild and jumps off of things and is always dirty and hates getting her hair brushed and won't wear hair bows or headbands. She's a toddler. Like any other toddler. 😂

Answer

We socialize boys and girls to be different by treating them differently.  A lot of these answers are stereotypical or sexist imo.

Answer

I haven't had my girl yet but so far I've noticed everything is so much more expensive

Answer

Id like to see what people say. I was terrified when I first found out I was having a girl because I'm so used to my wild boy

Answer

I have a boy but I taught swimming -and gymnastics. 
Boys generally don't listen as well as boys but have more energy. They usually climb, run or even fidget. Having a plan and a routine and sorta a "we do this then that then this" is a LIFESAVER. Also; tire em out with physically demanding stuff to help them calm down. However, even if not interested; still read to them a lot. In school, don't be surprised if he is behind the other classmates. He will catch up eventually if he's doing the right things. Believe and expect him to mature and make wise choices and have a strict moral code and a passion and he will be succesful in life.
(I never had a girl so Im using my friends kids and teaching experience): Girls talk sooner, and talk back sooner 😂. They whine, plead, argue and reason. They too try to be defiant but they wait until not looking. Girls are often fussed over more than boys so we see them as more delicate. Little girl gets a scrape and the whole house is in a panic. She will be just fine in life if you encourage her to believe in herself, never have her put a mans needs before hers and that she can make the world a better place. 
Also get books on raising the gender.

Answer

I have a one year old girl (with a boy on the way) but my daughter is roughly the same age as her male cousin and we like to compare and contrast. So far the stereotypes have been true- she is less physical, calmer, way more interested in people and their faces, and learned to walk sooner and is closer to talking than he is.

Answer

I agree with the other poster about the white stuff in their vaginal folds. Omg I wish a nurse would have told me cause I was trying to remove it. Also they get lots of discharge in the beginning and it's normal. I heard some even have a little period. I never experienced that. But besides diaper changes, they're pretty much the same babywise.

Answer

I think girls are just far more emotional and harder to deal with in that sense. They take everything to heart and it wears you out fast
