Eight Thoughts About: Mealtime
From Waking Up Daddy, Jason Roth's account of nine months of pregnancy and the insane first year of parenthood.
- I tried to explain to our baby that, on paper, she shouldn’t be hungry right now. She rebutted with an oral argument.
- Is it considered offensive to throw beads every time my wife breastfeeds?
- Technically, I wasn’t really picking my daughter’s nose. I was wiping sweet potato off the inside of her face.
- My standard for baby food quickly went from the most nutritious, freshly cooked food possible to “anything in a jar that won’t kill her.”
- Baby, if you wonder why today’s milk tastes like sushi, chocolate cupcakes, and coffee, it’s because mommy’s been pregnant for a long time.
- Bottle coma: God’s gift to new parents.
- “I love you too. Now show me the tit.” – Baby
- I’ve heard that Guinness is good for milk production. I’m not sure I understand the science here, but I better have another pint.
