Can I call your parents for help, too? *wistful face*
And I agree with you COMPLETELY on the disbelief that they actually let us leave the hospital with a tiny, perfect person! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? WE HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT WE ARE DOING!! WHY YOU SEND US AWAY?
I knew people from breastfeeding clinic who had to be escorted from the hospital because they were so afraid to take the baby home. I was desperate to get out of there, frankly, but I still couldn't believe it: we had a BABY. And they let us take him HOME. Even though he was tiny and helpless and we had no fucking clue!
I tell you what, I cannot believe that that is our standard practice: just - here you go! Go figure it out! It is a mystery the species has survived.
