What do you miss about having a newborn?

[mummajj]

oh what a great thread!

my baby is almost 4 months old, so not teeny newborn anymore.

i loved that newborn smell in the days after he was born. i actually kept a jumpsuit that he wore and put it in my little momentos box unwashed.
that scrunched up face and eyes that just don't quite wanna open all the way to see the world.
the way they stay curled up when you pick them up. like when you get them out of the car.
def the overwhelming love that brought me to tears every time i thought of him for those first few weeks.

awww now i want another one. lol. i look forward to doing it all again.

and another one...those pouty lips and sucking the bottom lip. naaawww.

I miss all of the stuff mentioned above. I also miss the way DD would be totally alert one minute and the next she would be asleep.

I am soooo not a fan of newborns (much prefer them when they're that bit older and more robust), but there are some things I will miss.

those froggy fingers on your chest while they feed
a tiny person snuggled in a sling, and whose wriggling doesn't throw out your centre of gravity

They way they nuzzle into your neck to go to sleep after a feed. Makes you feel everything is right with the world.

I am sooo glad that someone else isn't a fan of newborns. I'm still really traumatised by the first few months.

But I did love that milk drunk look, just when they've had a BF and they're all droopy and sleepy

Pregnancy isn't my cup of tea either....if I could think of them and then they arrived already 12months old....my world would be great lol

Sorry nic, back on track
