things I have learned as a new mom....

So far being a mom there are a few things I have learned... #1. Don't change a babies diaper with them facing you. Also don't have your mouth open while changing a diaper. This goes hand in hand. Media did not reflect that I may want to do this. I actually only found pictures oh how to change a diaper the wrong way.

See in the picture if this was a boy and started to pee guess where the pee will go...Yup all over mom or dad. My "keep your mouth closed" part is pretty self explanatory. #2. Baby shampoo is not as gentle as pure water. In fact I got some in my eye the other day and although it didn't feel as bad as real shampoo...it still sucked. Not to mention, have you ever gotten water in your eyes? Still it could cause tears especially for a baby. So the "no tears" is pretty much a lie. Now I know everyone wants to know how I got baby shampoo in my eye. I promise it was an accident and I wasn't trying to prove it didn't hurt baby's eyes.

#3. Organic doesn't mean it tastes good! Now that Links is introduced to baby food I find myself wondering if it tastes good to him because lets be honest I tasted breast milk and I wouldn't recommend it. Lincoln will eat practically anything you put in front of him so I figured, it must taste really good! Well I am wrong. A lot of the food tastes worse then breast milk. We wonder why our babies sometimes turn into picky eaters. I think it's because they finally eat something that tastes good and they just don't trust us to introduce "good" food because of how we start them out! ;)

So there is my top 3 list of things I have learned. I wanted to share so that people can learn from my trials and errors :) I hope everyone has a fantastic day!
