That’s the main lesson I learned at tonight’s Breastfeeding Basics class. Most of the breastfeeding stuff, while interesting, did not shatter my world view.
I was not aware, however, that newborns are expected to have at least 10 wet or poopy diapers a day. That’s a bare minimum!
I’m not sure how this tiny fact had escaped me before, being someone who’s usually very interested in both numbers and babies. Maybe it’s because I soil myself so infrequently that I couldn’t quite make the connection.
But that’s a lot of diapering.
Also, babies really go for that boob. Their mouths are almost like boob magnets (or maybe the other way round?). Though, for most guys, I guess that never really changes.
