How much we've all learned these last 4 or 5 months??
I remember this summer feeling clueless about breastfeeding, pumping and storing milk, baby sleep, baby clothes, swaddles, diapers, toys, pediatricians, strollers and the carseat ... The list goes on.
Even when I read about these things it all kind of made no sense to me because I couldn't imagine it in my life.
Now we're experts!

Yes! I was so afraid because I had never spent much time around babies (and I still remember pressing the call button my second night in the hospital and sobbing "My baby won't stop screaming and I don't know what to do!" when the nurse responded. Looking back, he was probably hungry or tired), but I almost feel like I know what I'm doing now. Even though I did lots of reading and research before DS was born, it really didn't fully come together for me until I actually had to apply it.
Whether you're feeling confident or not so much as a mom (and I go back and forth plenty in just one day), give yourself a pat on the back. We've all come a long way! =D>
Not only learning how to take care of a baby, but learning our individual babies too! Seeing LO with my extended family over Christmas made me realize how well I know him, how much better I can read his cues than a stranger. I'm so glad that newborn stage is over.

Exactly. I was thinking about all of this because of family parties and realizing I know just what she wants.
