I have some things from a preemie perspective
First off remember ALL babies are different! What worked for one may not and very likely will not work for your baby. That being said we use regular wipes, regular soaps, regular detergents with no problem.
If your baby is little people automatically thinks this means they are alloud to TOUCH your child! When we go out even to the hospital for Stormy's labs it's like we have a freaking sign on us 'idiots come this way' I've started glaring at anyone who comes CLOSE to her.
If you are going to 'wear' your baby. People will in public assume something is WRONG with your child because you are wearing her/him.
Nursing in public does get SOME looks but usually the person has to stare at you or walk by you 5-6xs before REALIZING that's what you are doing.
Your butt WILL sag!
we formula fed my daughter and NEVER warmed a bottle! She loved COLD formula from the fridge.
Bf'ing mom's if you plan to NIP nursing tank tops ROCK!
~!~~~~About Labour~!~~~~~
You CAN go from 5-9 in 15 minutes!! Found this out the hard way!
IF you go from 5-9 that quickly I suggest STILL getting the epi! You may feel the baby come out but you get to miss the dr stitching you up cause you ripped from things happening so fast.
Inductions CAN fail!
Ivs DO hurt and they bruise!
~~bf'ing moms~~~
If you bf and don't realize it and cut caffeine out without thinking about it. DON'T freak when you have a bad bad headache lol Drink a pepsi
~~post partum~~~
At the hospital you MIGHT pass clots and it's scarey especially when you FEEL them come out and they are baseball sized!
Some women DON'T bleed super heavily!
