What nobody every told you about having a baby

As if having a baby wasn't hard enough, you've read all the books and gotten all the advice, but somehow they all forgot to tell you a few things...

Here is our list of things nobody ever told us about having a baby:
  • babies get toe jam
  • babies get tons of ear wax - don't use Q tips! 
  • babies get fluff in the creases of the palm of their little hands
  • newborns peel all their skin off like a snake
  • baby poop is liquid mustard
  • babies fart really loud man farts
  • breastfeeding hurts and can be really hard, blistering and scabbing may occur (but it does get easier and is worth the agony)
  • breast milk is sticky! 
  • breast milk does not come out of one hole in the middle of your nipple, but from an array of holes at different angles
  • breast milk has a spraying radius of at least 3 feet
  • it burns to pee for about 2 weeks if you've had a tear and you have to spray warm water on your perineum (that means your crotch) with a water bottle for relief
What was news to you? We want your feedback! Let's compile a list so new moms aren't as surprised as we were!
