5 things everyone should know about pregnancy

As many of you know, Kat and I have been going to a lot of baby classes. We've learned so much recently that it's not even funny. Here are 5 important tips that I've learned between birthing classes with a Doula, and breast feeding and neonatal classes with a NICU nurse.

5) The best way to swaddle a baby is with the dudu wrap
4) If you're not pooping, you're not pushing hard enough
3) Amniotic fluid is actually baby pee
2) The placenta is chock full of goodness and should be eaten. Pan fried is best, but it can also be put into capsule form for convenience on the go
1) Breast milk is magical and can be used to resolve almost any baby illness

These things were initially shocking to me too.

I'll be using breast milk for everything from now on. Stuffy nose...breast milk. Diaper rash...breast milk. Pink eye...breast milk.

If you have any secrets, please add them to the blog.
