5 “firsts” I didn’t expect from my third child

When I found out I was pregnant with my third child in four years, I didn’t think there would be much if anything new I would experience this time around. My first love for breastfeeding. A year ago, I would have told you I couldn’t stand breastfeeding. I nursed my first two children out of absolute obligation and self-shaming. For some reason, nursing with this sweet girl has been a breeze from the start, and I love the bonding time. The first time I didn’t freak out over a fever.

Key Takeaways:

• But that’s when good old parenthood reminded me that no two parenting experiences are alike.
• A year ago, I would have told you I couldn’t stand breastfeeding.
• My daughter turned 6 months old a few weeks ago, and has already had three bizarre viruses with both fever and rash. The good news? No frantic nighttime calls to the nurse advice line.
