Thank you SO much for all of this practical and fun to read advice. My MIL has purchased about 40 (no exaggeration) NB-3 month outfits, and I am not taking ANY tags off. I have about 20 onesies for the first few months that I plan on using, since I’ve never been a mom before and I have absolutely no idea how crazy and sleep deprived I will be. The idea of putting a newborn in a tiny swimsuit is beyond me, so I will now be keeping the tags on all of her perhaps-well-intentioned- but-impractical-gifts so I can return them.

Seriously. I may have taken a detour, but this is why i started my blog. Stuff like this… esp. the hospital one!

I fully agree with all of those! I demanded to leave the hospital early with my son–thinking he’d be less fussy at his home full of fancy newborn crap we’d use exactly once–and I nearly had a nervous breakdown within 72 hours. My second baby was a million times easier–but I still don’t think I could do the newborn thing again.

#5 was quite a revelation. I tried it and it worked.

Thanks Jill.

Your point number 10 is not true for me at all. My kids come out of the birth canal screaming their heads off and they don’t stop until they are somewhere near a YEAR old. With my second it was somewhere near TWO YEARS old. I always say that my kids make colic babies look like sweet quiet little cherubs and that the terrible twos are awesome compared to the first year. If they could only be born somewhere around 18 months old.

Wish I would have found this a couple of months ago!! I have a 3 month old and have discovered all these to definitely be true.

Perfectly said, and all 100% true. One more: 11. When people call before they come over to visit and they ask if you need anything, always say yes, even if it's just a milkshake. Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing]’s last blog post..Consider this a photography blog: Day 7 - Wordless Wednesday
