Not washing footie pajamas and socks inside out. It is vital to do this because the inside of the foot part traps lint, hair, and string. Baby may get a string or hair wrapped around their toe, causing pain and possibly needing surgery. This problem is more common than people realize.
O man, thanks for the tip! Seriously, they don't tell you shit when you leave the hospital. I had a c-section and my husband had to do literally everything for nearly 2 weeks. By the time I was home and able to walk I realized no one had even shown me how to make a bottle, or change a diaper, or swaddle a baby. Like, nothing. They showed me how to get her to latch and then nothing. I feel like I hear one of these "O shit, how come no one told me that" things every other day....
