SLEEP when the baby does! Which I didn't do.
Projectile poop is possible
I will never sleep again.
What's yours?
What are some lessons you learned as a first time mom?

Just because he cries doesn't mean he's hungry and just because he spits up, doesn't mean he's full. Come on people, a little hint would be nice! And when his face turns red, LOOK OUT BELOW!!!!

@ Jakki, I second Sharon! SO true! When you're a first time mom, you think you have to put your kid down at this time and this time. I completely remember doing that. I had to make every play date revolve around HER nap.

Demand feed. Every 4 hours is bullshit they will just cry for the last 2 hours.

Kids nap time isn't as important as you think - every first time mum thinks that the world needs to revolve around their little one's sleep. But then inevitably, they find out that when they have a second child that sleep time can happen whenever possible, which is a HUGE shift in mentality.
I remember before I had kids inviting a first time mother over for lunch with her husband. She had a 1 year old, She said yes they could come for lunch but it had to be before noon or after 3pm. WTF?? No one with 2 kids would ever say something like that!
