Momma’s, what they don’t tell you..

No one tells you how hard breastfeeding is, or how much work your going to have to put in it to be successful. Also how you have a baby whose constantly attached and they’res  really no reason to wear a shirt anymore. Your days are consumed of a baby constantly pulling at your shirt and crying until your boob is in their mouth.

No one tells you to check for a tongue tie to see if its causing issues with the latch. You would think they would check in the hospital, but no they think that’s just a fad. When actuality its not.  As, I’m writing this my five month old is kicking me, and blowing bubbles. Do I ever get time to myself anymore? No probably not. Probably why I waited eleven years to have another one. How about that C-section belly no one tells you about, or as I like to call it the dreaded muffin top.

Lucky for me my daughter sleeps through the night, but on the downside of that she doesn’t like to take naps unless I’m laying next to her the whole time. Which is impossible when I have a million other things to do. It would be nice to be able to take a nap with her but because shes constantly attached to the boob I don’t really get anything done around the house.

I never breastfed with my first, just pumped for the first three months and then he was on formula, it was pretty easy. That was my boy. This is my first girl and she can use her lungs when she wants to be held.  She use to be the quietest baby when she was in NICU. She would always have another baby in the room with her and the other baby would scream their head off all day but not my little Alana, she would be so quiet and even when she was sleeping they would never wake her up. Now that’s shes been home she has made her personality known. I love her for it, just wasn’t prepared for it.

Girl are fun, you have so many options. If you go into any store, they have aisles and aisles of girls cloths. But, for boys they have one little section and because they don’t have a big selection you can never find the right sizes you need.  My daughter is only five months old and I believe when it comes to cloths she already has more then her brother. It definitely has been a roller coaster ride starting all over again with my daughter. Things are a little different now then when my son was born. It helps a lot to have an older child to help out and then when hes older I’ll have a babysitter.

Tell me in the comments what you didn’t know and wish someone had told you before you had kids in the comments.
