Your kid smiling at you is still the best thing in the world. It doesn’t get any less cool - it just keeps getting better.

It doesn’t matter if you have a girl instead of a boy, they’re still going to pee on you.

Nursing may be breastfeeding, but not all breastfeeding is nursing.

Exclusively pumping is totally an option and a great option if you want to feed your baby breast milk and nursing doesn’t feel like a right fit for you.

Lastly, no matter how you’re feeding your child - it’s emotional and it’s hard, and new moms deserve support and not be questioned in their decision.

Husbands who take on all of the night feeds are elite. They’re better than anyone else.

Kids are, like, aggressively happy in the morning.

Friends were constantly checking on me for postpartum depression and that was definitely on my radar, but I was not at all prepared for postpartum anxiety.

It’s intense and it’s real, and I feel like a lot of us don’t bring it to light because we think it’s just a part of the stresses of being a new mom - and it’s not.

Breastfeeding is also not as intuitive as it looks.

Clipping your child’s nails is terrifying and feels like a very high-risk endeavour. Get a clipper with a hole in it, so you can see that you're not chopping off their fingertips.

Sometimes your crying baby may make you want to cry. And in that moment it’s important to have a partner who can talk both of you and the baby down.

I was not prepared for how much I would be willing to drop everything to cuddle with my kid all day.

Baby pass outs. 10/10.

Your options aren’t formula feed or breastfeed.

Those are your two options but you don’t have to exclusively formula feed or exclusively breastfeed, you can do a combination of those things and it’s ok.

Being a food source doesn’t get any less weird.

Laundry’s never ending and no chance you’re going to fold it... or at least no chance I’m going to fold it.

When do I feed them? I was so stressed about that and it turns out that you learn it pretty naturally.

But then breastfeeding and how you feed them, I thought “oh, that comes naturally” but it’s really hard.

Moms have moms' backs and I love that part.

Sleep regression is real and it’s frustrating. It’s as frustrating as people tell you it is.

Spit up is water-soluble, it will come out. And it will also happen.

The first week that I had to spend away from home for work, I didn’t realize that face-timing with my child would put me in an existential crisis. But it did.

How do you give a newborn a bath? We’re doing it, but are we doing it enough?

9 times out of 10 you put a diaper on and it goes smoothly. But like one of those times it leaks. I don't know, there is a gap and something happens.

Assembling baby furniture/stroller/anything that comes for a baby is not as intuitive as it looks.

I didn’t know that baby’s first Halloween was supposed to be an all-out production.

You have to change your baby a lot, so get changing mats.

Every piece of clothing that everyone owns – should be magnetically closed. It’s awesome.

Speaking of FaceTime – whenever you FaceTime people with a baby you’re always holding a camera facing the baby, but then you can see the person and the person’s making faces at the baby.

I’m here for that. Matt played peekaboo with me and didn’t even know it.

Newborn insert in the car seat is supposed to come out at 11 pounds.

Get a little mini sound machine, so it can go on your stroller or on your crib. Our kid loves it.
