10 (Cheeky) Tips for New Moms
2.
Your boobs, when engorged (this is for the first-timer) will look like
something out of a fetish video. Your husband will be intrigued:
Practice saying, "If you touch my nipples I will be wearing your scrotum
as decorative jewelry."
3. That fun "period" you get after you give birth? Don't worry, that's not your liver in the toilet.
4.
When people ask if your baby is on a schedule, tell them the little
monkey won't listen and you're wondering if it's too soon to start
spanking.
5. With each subsequent child, you will look nine months pregnant for at least two weeks longer after giving birth.
6. Watching reruns of The Sopranos in the middle of the night helps bring down your milk. So does a good gin and tonic.
7.
Your older children might be jealous of the attention given to the new
baby. This is natural. Just tell them they're not as special anymore,
and would they please move, daddy is trying to take a picture of the
little princess.
8. Other moms are
really, really competitive. Make stuff up. Tell them your baby started
muttering the phrase "Einstein was wrong" while thrashing in the crib at
night.
9. Only you know when it's time to wean your baby. If you want to nurse until the kids beg you to stop, that's your prerogative.
10.
Older people are really judgmental when it comes to things like
co-sleeping. Don't get irritated at their antiquated advice. Just smile
and tell them you really find that co-sleeping works for you. You just
wish little junior would yell louder when you accidentally roll over on
him.
