Random, unsolicited advice for new Brownstoner parents:
-buy yourself a load of cotton baby diapers,
not to put on the baby but to use for all manner
of messes that babies are known to make. They’re cheap
if you buy them in Bushwick.
-if you are bottle feeding, you must get the airless
bottle system so you’re not spending half your day burping them.
-get some of the gas relieving medicine, your pediatrician can recommend the specific brand because infants have gas issues.
-if they’re crying they either want food, they want to be changed or they have gas.
-buy a crib monitoring device that uses a vibration sensor under the mattress to monitor breathing. It sounds an alert if it senses a problem. you’ll sleep better.
-don’t expect much interaction the first year, it’s pretty much one way at first.
-buy a load of onesies with button closures.
they’re easy. you can get them cheap in Bushwick
or that huge children’s store on Livingston Street across from the municipal parking lot.
The manhattan bound traffic on the Brooklyn bridge is ridiculous. And when summer streets ends, weekend construction begins (for eventual toll booths I suspect).
If baby is formula fed, throw out the clothes. Those stains don’t come out.
Any idea how to get racoon pee smell out of wood floor? I’m nearly done with country life
Did someone say baby puke? I basically have a PhD in baby puke. What’s the question?

Amazing how many commenters on this topic have no actual experience with baby puke!
ExTx, m4l is right. Just put them into the machine, they will be fine.
Sorry, I meant Ringo, not rf.
“throw out the clothes.”
Wow, that sounds a little extreme, rf!
party lines were great for eavesdropping. kinda like lurkers on the OT

we still have one of the solid phones with rotary dial.
they are unbreakable.
You’d probably still have a “party line” too if they were still available.
