10 Things No One Tells You About Life With a Newborn
The books don’t cover this side of parenthood…
You’ve probably read the guides, listened to the podcasts, and watched the YouTube tutorials. But there are a few hilarious (and slightly messy) truths about newborn life that no one seems to warn you about… until you’re in the thick of it.
- Your washing machine will become your new best friend. Who knew such a tiny person could produce so much laundry?
-
Muslins are life. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without them — they’re like the Swiss army knife of baby gear.
-
Nap “schedules”? Ha! Babies don’t read the rulebook.
-
Milk gets everywhere. Trust us, everywhere.
-
Google becomes your guilty pleasure. Yes, you’ll type “is it normal if…” at 2am.
-
Visitors always arrive just as baby finally sleeps.
-
You’ll have conversations about poo you never thought possible.
-
Suddenly, silence is suspicious.
-
You’ll become a snack ninja. Eating one-handed while rocking a baby = parent superpower.
-
The love is overwhelming. No one can really describe it until you’re there.
Newborn life is chaotic, funny, and full of surprises — and the best part is, you’re not alone in any of it.
