GlowingGecko+FollowNervous? Here's the 'Helpful' Advice from Our First 5 Days of ParentingJust in case any new parents are feeling overwhelmed, here's a sample of the wonderfully consistent advice we've received in our first 5 days with our newborn: 1) "Your baby looks too yellow, the jaundice is concerning." 2) "That jaundice color is perfectly normal, don't worry." 3) "He's not gaining enough weight, you should be concerned." 4) "His weight is right on track, he's perfect." 5) "You need to supplement breastfeeding with formula immediately." 6) "Stop the formula, it'll interfere with your milk supply." 7) "Always wake baby for feedings, even at night." 8) "Never wake a sleeping baby, they'll eat when hungry." 9) "Take care of yourself first or you'll burn out." 10) "The baby comes first now, your needs can wait."
