differences between boy babies and girl babies?
Are there any differences I should expect or advice I should hear?
I am a little nervous about having a boy, it feels like uncharted territory.
So bump for answers lol
But I can tell you this. I asked the same question before she was born and really the only hard piece of advice I found was: when you put his diaper on make sure to point his penis down. :)
GL and congratulations!
I'm having my first baby boy and have no idea what to expect! But a lot of mommy's with baby boys tell me it's amazing. Just because a baby has different body parts will never change the love you have for them though <3
When the baby gets older and becomes a toddler you might notice your boy is much more rambunctious than your girl. That's how it is with my boys, but I also realize that it could just be personality at work, so I hesitate to say it's merely because they're boys.
People tend to rough house with little boys a lot more, I've noticed. With dd people would always comment on how sweet she was, with my sons they would call them "little flirt" and "bruisers"
It is worth noting that my kids were all pushing 20 lbs by 4 months so they all 3 looked like little bruisers (whatever that's supposed to mean).
At the park strangers hover over my very brave 2 yo dd whereas they only usually would comment on how daring and brave my oldest son was when he would do similar things at her age.
Honestly....there are not a lot of differences I have NEVER been peed on...never
BUT, BOtH my girls peed and pooped on me
As a toddler, I don't notice a lot different from when my girls were toddlers
All 3 liked cars, trains and baby dolls equally
Although, now my girls are older they are getting more into the girly stuff
The other day we went for a walk and the girls walked right past a pretty red truck...my toddler though, stopped, walked over to it...deeply examined it as proceeded to climb up the back bumper
Thy all have equal amounts of energy, the girls are more dramatic right now but were not so as toddlers
It's really more a personality thing than a sec thing
If you go off that, then my girls should be boys LOL
The difference between my ds and dd were pretty intense. He grew (still is) grew like CrAZY so he was constantly nursing. DH has a handfull of pictures of me asleep nursing him in different parts of the house. There is even one of him wrapped in the Moby chowing down while I was playing video games. He also loved to snuggle (still does) and he co-slept with us until about a year, which is also the age he finally slept through the night at. DD on the other hand, slept 6hours straight at a month. Slept better when she was in the co-sleep that we had next to our bed and didn't eat as furiously as ds. She was also a good inch shorter than he was at 1year. Not that we should be comparing them, but heck it's hard not to when the differences can be loud.
Always grab 2 wipes, one to wipe with and one to cover his willie as soon as you take the diaper so he doesn't pee in your face lol. Oh and if you put the diaper on with it pointing up he will pee up out of it!....both things I learned the hard way good luck!!! and congrats!
I didn't notice any difference in the first year. When they are more mobile and they choose different toys some times but that's about it. Kids all need to learn at there own pace and the same skills. Have fun!!
Natural seran wrap?
Do you take your kids to well child check ups?
