Stuff we should get? Or features on some items?

Things to you wish you knew or had done before the baby arrived?

Any and all advice is welcome :)

    You won’t smell of milk all the time, so it is easier for you to put the baby to sleep. Try memorizing like 10 songs that you like and will be able to sing over and over again. The baby will figure out, that it is time to sleep when you sing these.

    Learn how to exercise/strach baby. You don’t want to do this with a newborn. But there won’t be a lot of time after birth to look this up. Be gentile. It’s good for the baby and makes them fart and shit, easing stomach pain.

    Look up baby first aid videos just in case. It is very different than adult first aid.

        Nahhh… don’t sweat it. My son’s favorite is an old school '90 punk-rock song about “sometimes I miss marijuana”. You can get away with it for quite a while. Than you replace the inappropriate parts with jellybeans and tulips or whatever.

      Shit I’ll add to that and straight up suggest doing a first aid program if OP can afford to and can find the time. It just gives you piece of mind knowing how to do shit in a safe way.

      If the partner has enough mobility still I’d even suggest doing a class together as a bonding thing.
