[quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with my second, so I can't bear to read all the replies and remember the hardest parts. I just wanted to write in and say it gets better SO fast. I do not love the newborn phase, but it's just a few weeks until they "wake up" and start smiling and look interested in the world, and it just keeps getting better from there (and I have a very active toddler). Also, people have given you laundry lists of the hardest bits. You probably won't deal with all of them. My kid never woke up every 2 hours at night, for example, and we were down to one night feeding by 8 weeks. I have a friend for whom bf-ing was pretty manageable from day 1, while I struggled and ultimately switched to formula. Oh, also, it's a marathon, not a sprint. If you hate breastfeeding, or cloth diapering, or having the crib in your room, or whatever - don't do it. The baby will be fine, possibly better off having a happier parent. [/quote]
