Here's a fun little plus on breastfeeding. No period. Or at least a delay of one. I had my last one on July 9, 2007. Two days after my wedding. It has been a great run of a year and a half of not worrying about having pads, tampons etc... but now it's back. I'm not sharing this to be gross but to share the strange little bits of knowledge that comes with having a baby. First of all delay of a period, how great is that? Second little tidbit. When your in the hospital after having the baby they will give you a little squirt bottle to use to help clean down there when you in the bathroom. You will learn to love the bottle. Fill with slightly colder then lukewarm water and clean often. It will help a lot with the healing process. Do not leave this bottle at the hospital. Do not leave it. Do forget it. Your going to need it for a least a week after you get home.
Now I use to keep the flushable wipes in my bathroom for when Aunty Flo came to visit, because her vists leave me feeling gross and I can't shower every time I go to the bathroom. Here's comes the bottle. Keep using the bottle. No buying flushable wipes which makes me feel like an old lady and for people worried about being "green" I'm sure using a water bottle is much better then wipes. Feel so much cleaner then when using wipes. I love my bottle. And I highly recommend keeping and using yours. Incase you hadn't picked up on it.
Reading over this I'm noticing what a random post this is. Sorry!
Oh and btw take a huge stack of the disposable pads they will put on your hospital bed for you. They make great changing pads for the diaper bag. If your baby pees or poos on 'em just toss 'em. No cleaning off a changing pad and toting it with you.
