1. Always carry extra wipes, diapers, and a change of baby clothes with you
2. Breastfeeding It Not A Weight Loss Plan
3. It does not matter how many peepee teepees you use, your baby boy will still pee on you
4. Not changing nipple sizes on the bottle as they get older will cause spitting up, repeatedly (we learned the hard way...at Disney World)
5. You become less annoyed and more empathetic to babies crying in public
6. Changing a diaper in public is a lot harder than it sounds (especially when there are not changing tables in all restrooms)
7. Buy a good lotion for your hands (can't count how many times you wash your hands in a day)
8.You never have enough clean baby onesies
9. You will end up buying more strollers and diaper bags than you have family members
10. You will constantly be untwisting your child's car seat straps, and when you do decide to clean the car seat, you will be amazed at what you find (highly recommend cleaning at least once a month)
