There is a lot of reading material out there to help you prepare for your new bundle....here are some of the things they do NOT cover in those books:
- baby boys can get erections. (o_0) Yup. This was startling to me when I first witnessed it.
- the amount of poop/pee that can come out of the little darling. This astounds me still. And invest in pee-pee teepee's.
- They never told us after discharged from the hospital that if you circumsize, make sure you gently but completely pull the skin down so it does not REATTACH ITSELF TO THE PENIS!! We are going through this now, with much frustration and will need to go to a specialist for something stupid that could have been prevented!!
-If you have a gut feeling about an ailment for your newborn, always trust that instinct!
My advise is ask AS MANY QUESTIONS as possible before they discharge you from the hospital. Make a list prior to also ask any pediatricians you may "interview". We were lucky in the sense that one of the visiting Pedia's doing rounds at the hospital, we liked and now see her.
