- Babies are new at this too - they won't know that you're screwing up
- A little dirt won't hurt them
- Make a list of one thing to do every day that once done, you won't have to do tomorrow. Windows, bathroom, etc.
- Baby can't thrive if Mom isn't thriving, take some time for yourself and don't feel guilty
- Formula isn't the devil
- Leave the baby overnight before they're one - it'll be easier for both of you if that big event is done sooner rather than later
- Sometimes all you can do is laugh
- Swimming is pretty much the miracle cure, it's fun and they take fantastic naps afterwards!
- All you really need is a pack of crackers, some wipes and a diaper.
- It's worth taking the time to put on makeup and real clothes, you'll feel better about yourself and your husband will appreciate the effort
- Bins in every room makes cleaning up way faster!
- In the first 6 weeks, don't worry about spoiling them, sleep habits or really anything. Just enjoy them.
- Don't freak out if they don't do things by the book, no baby ever follows every milestone perfectly
- You are not alone in whatever crazy thing your child has done - getting kicked out of daycare after 3 hours - you're not the first one to have that happen to...I hope...
Thanks to all the fantastic moms in my life! I appreciate you far more than you realize!
