What memories do you have related to bringing baby home?
The long days?
The tiring, sleepless nights?
The endless crying and fussing?
The endless cycle of bottles, burping, and diapers?
How about escaping for short periods of time? Did you have an outlet that allowed you to free yourself from motherhood for a few hours each week? A chance for you to forget about caring for baby and instead, care for you?
Did you have family/friends that pitched-in and helped when needed? i.e. Babysitting, etc?
Anyone else have a playpen at their disposal to keep baby close when doing things in and around the house? i.e. Like when baking or spending time in the kitchen?
How about taking baby out for walks in the stroller?
Anyone else utilize a bassinette to keep baby close-by them through the night, for the first little while after baby was born?
Where did you generally feed baby? Kitchen? other?
Where did you change diapers?
Did you have a changing table?
When bathing baby, did you use the kitchen sink, or did you have one of those old-fashioned little plastic baby baths?
Did baby use a crib fulltime?
How about baby basics, do you remember the layette you started baby out with?
What brand of disposable diapers did you use?
How did you keep baby dressed most of the time while inside?
When changing baby's crib, did you use a rubber sheet to protect the mattress?
How did you treat diaper rash?
Did you use a night-light in baby's room?
