Family Life
  1. Joining a local baby gym is the best way to make friends with babies around the same age.
  2. Nobody tells you that if your baby throws up their meal, feeding them right away will just make them throw up again
  3. You don’t need an alarm clock anymore
  4. Video games are something you used to play
  5. You’d be surprised how often you just want to watch TV after the baby goes to bed, more so than you probably ever did before
  6. It takes a while to integrate a new baby into your schedule, especially if this is your first
  7. Babies like to eat
  8. Sometimes you fall asleep with a baby on your lap. That’s Okay.
  9. Parents with babies the same age as yours are sometimes competitive. Don’t worry, not all of them are.
  10. Parents with babies the same age as yours are aware of what you’re going through
  11. Your baby will slowly learn how to do things on their own. Try not to force anything.
  12. Your baby will slowly learn how to do things on their own! Don’t be surprised if they can start climbing the couch one day.
  13. Everybody in your family has an opinion on your baby, but yours is usually the best. That being said, listen to what your family has to say about raising kids.
  14. Try taking your baby to a restaurant…
