33 Weird Things You Won’t Know Unless You’re A Parent

8. Babies go through 3,360 nappies in the first year

That’s a lot of poo and pee to handle and you have the choice to go disposable or reusable on it. Whatever suits your style.

9. Poo obsession

Parents, especially mums, generally develop a poo obsession at a certain point. Because babies are unable to communicate how they actually feel, their poop will tell the parent if there is something wrong with their wee one or not.

10. You pick poop with your hands

Accidents are difficult to avoid and there is a big likelihood that you will have to deal with poop with bare hands at some point.

11. Never have you been so obsessed about getting poop into the bowl

Potty training sucks and you will never feel as obsessed with pooping — or the peeing — into the bowl as you are now.

12. Congested noses are sucked

It’s terrifying to see infants with clogged noses so parents try to suck them out before it gets harder for them to breathe. There’s usually a device that can be used but when there’s none around, parents will have no choice but to suck them with their mouths.

13. Clean clothing is relative

Clean clothes? It’s totally a relative thing. For all you know, your clothes are much, much cleaner than the other mum whose baby just threw up on her.
