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.
