A slow pain...

Future dads to be out there, let me tell you….do NOT go to a breast feeding class. See, when your wife is pregnant, people always badger the guy about being supportive and being there for your spouse. You know what I hear, blah-blah-blah.

I am all for being supportive, but last time I looked, it was not possible for me to breast feed a baby.

So Aya and I have 3 hour class on a week night, AFTER work and we have to sit there and listen to this breast feeding nazi. The instructor goes on for 1 hour about why breast feeding is better than formula. Not only does the nazi try to push breast feeding but she also pushes product on us like I am an idiot that doesn’t realize she gets a kickback on items she sells. The class is pure torture. (Yes, I do realize breast feeding is better….but I also realize not everyone can breast feed).

Luckily our classes are almost done. We went to prepared childbirth, breast feeding, infant care and our hospital visit. The sad part is, the more you learn the less you end up knowing!

Let me just add, newborn babies are super ugly. They got this white waxy crap on them, their heads are shaped funny, they don’t have any color in them….yucko.

You're only gonna see the white stuff for about a minute and then your son will be all clean... what are you complaining about? It's not like he'll remember anything when he grows up.

"Dad, you remember that white waxy crap I had on me when I popped outta mom?"

"Yeah...that was nasty stuff. Yucko."

"Sure was disgusting...Smelled awfully funny too and I felt all icky. Ugggghhhhhh."

i agree, i know the kid won't be complaining but i didn't know the kid would be coming out with all the waxy stuff.

if i didn't learn that in class i would have that my wife had sex with a goat or something!

Miles,

Just wait until your son has his first poop! Boy are you in for a surprise.

tom-

actually, i got a poop chart in one of the classes, so i already know what the first 2 weeks of baby poop looks like.

i think i prefer the dark black one over the seedy running yellow stuff.

Christie-

The classes have been okay, with the exception of the breast feeding class.

See, I am sympathetic to those that can or can not breastfeed. I am not TOTALLY insensative. =)

dino still talks about the black tar. during the first couple of days, we supplemented with formula, and from the stinky poop that came out, we never want to do that again.
