My LO is a month old today and DH and I are slowly noting the things we could have done to make our lives easier. Of course, every baby is different but could be fun (and helpful) to compare lists.
* She'll drink cold milk.
* The bouncer helps her poop.
* In a fix, the old throw blanket on the couch will do. I never had to go across the room to get her real blankets.
* I don't have to hold the most awkward/painful position ever just because she fell asleep. A fly can come and she can wake up any minute anyway. I should just have gotten comfy! After a month of doing this, my body's paying big time!
* I don't have to feed her in picture perfect position. She's comfy spread eagle, on my lap while I watch TV!
* I should have set parent time outs in the beginning -- this is especially needed during her super fussy moments. (As in taking turns and timing breaks for each other).
* Check her neck folds!
* Breast milk will cure a clogged eye duct like magic!
