Eight Thoughts About: Baby Care
From Waking Up Daddy, Jason Roth's account of nine months of pregnancy and the insane first year of parenthood.
- Now I know why some parents give you the ages of their kids in months. They want credit for every minute of survival, and they deserve it.
- A chart from the hospital says our baby needs three “BMs” today. Does one 3XL BM count?
- I know that using two blankets to swaddle an infant is breaking all the rules, but in times like these, a man does what he has to do.
- If daddy says, “I don’t think she needs a blanket,” and mommy says, “She might get frostbite and die,” guess who wins?
- My wife and I like to divide up the chores. She takes the front of the baby; I take the back.
- We should’ve fostered a child. One with prior babysitting experience.
- When my parents told me that having a baby would be a lot of work, I assumed their opinion was skewed from having to raise me.
- Our local day care center has a TWO-YEAR waiting list. One-year-olds are competing with the unconceived to get into this place.
