What to expect?

Question

I'm expecting my first baby in February, is there anything I should be particularly prepared for to happen in the first weeks of having a newborn? Everything from how they act, tips and tricks, breastfeeding tips, literally anything that comes to mind is helpful. I'm still in shock I'm having a baby 😳❤

Answer

Dude. There is so much. You are going to have to pick like a topic 😂😂 I found out my magic sleep number is 4.5 hours, I can function just not super great.

Answer

I had crazy hormonal stuff after my c-section. I was shaky, hot/cold flashes that were insane. Lots of random crying. Breastfeeding is HARD, not trying to be mean but I wasn't prepared at how hard and what a mental game it is. You'll constantly question yourself and your supply and you'll think you're starving your baby even though you're not haha it's so hard. And then it gets better and easier and you and baby both learn how to do it and you keep going! This app really helped me through my first few months and now my baby is 13weeks and I'm still on here looking for advice and help with things or just for comfort to know I'm not alone! 
PS. My brother told my to buy those disposable doggy training pads and use it on our changing table so we didn't have to wash the damn thing 800 times and let me tell you he was right!! Highly recommend getting some lol !!!!

Answer

The one thing nobody told me is that it’s okay if breastfeeding. And eventually pumping isn’t for you. It took my doctor and my daughters doctor to tell me this! Everyone just said it was hard but nobody told me I didn’t have to do it. Once I stopped I found myself enjoying the process and moments so much more.

Answer

The first 2 weeks of breastfeeding are the hardest and painful but once you get through that it gets so much easier! Lots of nipple cream. And when you’re tired during feeds and need motivation and want to give up, just remember it’s quicker and easy to whip out the boob then having to pump,mix formula, heat bottle etc. 
No sleep is also terrible the first few weeks but it gets better. Take care of yourself and get help to take breaks and shower :) you’ll do great! Everything will slowly become natural!

Answer

Keep wipes in every room. And burp clothes. Be ready for poop and spit up everywhere.
