Since having a baby, I have learned...

in May 2012 Moms

to do many things one handed that (silly me) I used to use both hands to accomplish

one that comes to mind, because I just did it, is removing earrings with backings from my pierced ears

what things have you ladies learned to do with one hand?

 

**on a side note, I have to laugh when my husband wants to hand LO to me to do something as simple (at least for me) as grabbing a papertowel!

    Go to the bathroom. Who knew 2 hands were helpful, but holding a screaming infant while peeing was a major accomplishment for me. Thankfully she has an easier time entertaining herself now and she got over the phase of thinking that being put down meant she was going to die a horrible death. Now I can do most things 2 handed again since she enjoys sitting up by herself and wnts to do that whenever possible.

    Making a sandwich. Sure it takes a little longer but I've mastered the art of sandwich making one handed. I'm proud to say that I can even scoop out mayo and spread it using a spoon. Who knew making a sandwich with two hands would become a luxury? Haha!

    I know with my first I remember learning how to eat dinner with one hand.
    As for peeing with baby, just wait until your in public and have to do this!

    I have simply because it was so gross in the stall I refused to put her on the baby change table while I peed. Holding a baby and squatting...its a good thing I'm an avid skier and have strong legs!

    I've managed to bake cookies while cradling my baby with my free hand. I stirred all the ingredients together one handed also. Don't know how!

    Wow, peeing with a baby I have not tried yet.  I just let them scream for a few or hold my pee... lol. 

    In public (which I very rarely go out alone w/ children) but if I do I always have the stroller so we just go in the handicapped stall. 

    But I can text, comp, study, eat, cook, make bottles.  Bottles are hard to screw the lid on but I do it!  Now that I think about it, peeing is about the only thing I haven't had to do 1 handed.

    This, lol. I have never had the need to hold him while I pee. DS isn't a particularly high maintenance baby though.

    One thing I HATE is typing one-handed.

    You think peeing with them one handed is new...wait til they get older and you never get to pee alone again!  They follow you in EVERY time!  LOL
