Rylan is nearly a month old now and I'm still learning new things every day however with the last 29 days has come a lot of new found knowledge. Things that all other parents likely learn soon after the birth of their baby. Here is a bit of my vast knowledge that I have learned and would like to pass on to other parents or parents to be.
Own more than 10 receiving blankets. They will be pee'd on.
Button down clothing works best.
Petroleum Jelly in the diaper causes pee to pour out.
Don't hold your baby too tight or their legs will go purple.
Always have the camera ready for a picture.
Work out your back prior to the birth. You will need the muscles for bouncing.
Swaddling is a godsend.
Day trips are possible with a bit of planning.
Poop is inevitable, so is pee on the wall.
Other peoples input is rubbish as each baby is different.
I've been following the little guy for about 3 months now and am very happy to see him doing so well. After 4 months of trying, nada yet. We're still keeping our fingers crossed though. What a cutie!
