Things I wish I knew before having a baby...

[deaconblue]

I'm sure this has been done before but:

1. putting a clean outfit on guarantees puke in the next 5 mins
2. no matter how much fun mum tries to be daddy gets all the best smiles
3. no amount of sleep is enough
4. the longer you spend preparing a meal, the quicker it will end up on the floor

the more you stress about what they 'should' be doing the less likely they are to do it. this applies to sleep, feeding, development, etc.

[Emprexia]

It doesnt matter how often you change a boys nappy, they will still pee as soon as you take the old one off... or just after you've cleaned and talced ad are about to put the new one on.

[PinkTulips]

my ds waits til i put his nappy back on think he gave himself such a fright when he peed on his own head he's afraid to go with no nappy on now, lol

[Emprexia]

lmao... i get peed on almost every nappy change.. i think the fresh air makes him want to go, lol.

[BigHotMama]

Lol, my ds pulls his winky as soon as his nappy is off which then makes him pee everywhere, got me right on the chin, luckily didnt reach any further up

Parents are never in charge.

[Dophus]

Winky's stretch way too far... surely it must hurt!

[Dophus]

On that note - winky fascination stats as soon as thet have control of their hands and stops when they no longer have control (i.e. in the grave)

[BigHotMama]

He takes after his dad

[nicnaksmum]

strangers will suddenly poke their head into your pram and offer randon advice

[liquidclocks]

Locking the front door as you go out of the house guarantees they'll puke, do a poo or both.

...usually after you changed them once already in the process of trying to leave the house in the first place

Kaishay - you need peepee teepees!

[deaconblue]

What a fantastic idea. Must get some peepeeteepees for ds. He peed on his own head when just a few weeks old. I now do nappy flapping to get the cold air to it before removing nappy.
