OMLorrddd #5 is wild πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Why does it feel like these things must get done RIGHT NOW??!

I googled a TON as a new mom! A lot about how often to bathe, what foods to try first, if sunscreen is toxic for baby skin, how to get rid of cradle cap, if cradle cap meant I was a bad mom, how to time naps/feeding/playtime, what is tummy time and is it important, how to interpret baby's crying, how to identify hunger cues, how much coffee I could consume while still breastfeeding, how do I know my baby is getting enough breast milk... So many questions!

Rly glad I decided NOT to paint the garage πŸ˜‚ I feel like I have been set free after pregnancy. That is my only explanation.

I Googled almost all of those same things as well β€” the cradle cap started to scare me when it got so thick around the eyes! We made it through! 🩡 Now I can’t wait to see what the search history looks like when she can walk and talk 😱

LOL I can relate so much to the list! Especially #10- every time I was having a bowel movement during those early constipation days, I was worried that my C-section stitches would tear apart.
