I remember my baby’s first Easter like yesterday and I’ll never forget my first days with baby, especially the ones in the hospital! Everyone had tips and tricks to share and soon enough I had my own tips and tricks!

I remember looking at her little fingers and toes, rubbing her hair that was basically just her little head, watching her sleep, listening to her little heartbeat from her chest instead of an ultrasound, putting on her teeny tiny clothes and even putting on her first diaper. The hospital gave us Pampers and we loved that they had the wetness indicator. Nurses made me crazy that I wasn’t feeding her enough and she wasn’t wetting her diapers. Eventually my milk came in and that yellow indicator was turning green nonstop.

Talking about milk coming in.. I completely forgot about nursing pads. I remember RUNNING into Babies“R”Us covering myself because I was pretty much leaking all over. I was so mortified but thankfully there was an sweet woman associate who knew just what I was hiding under my folded arms. She led me to the perfect reusable nursing pads that they carry. No more leaky milk, oh boy!

I’ll never forget her poor little skin getting irritated and finding the perfect soothing creams and lotions that made it all better. I really thought I knew everything I needed to know when I had my daughter, but I quickly learned that we’re always learning, even to this day I’m still learning more and more about my sweet girl.
