For me it’s this:

Everyone always tells you to really clean and dry those folds—which is certainly true but to me that just seemed obvious?

I feel like what that advice doesn’t tell you is just how deep and hard it is to ACTUALLY thoroughly clean those folds and just how many there are!!

I never realized how much dirt and dander can get between a baby’s fingers and toes! Or how DEEP under their neck is!!! And don’t forget their armpits too because there is just so many creases and crevices for stuff to get stuck in!

What about you? Something you thought you knew/understood about taking care of a tiny human but you didn’t really get it until having one?
