6 fun facts only parents know
Today it’s a whole year since we became parents for the first time and there’s no denying that it’s been a steep learning curve. Practically vertical, in fact. But as well as all the obvious lessons like changing nappies, interpreting cries, sleep training etc., there are a few lesser known gems that give you instant, unequivocal lifetime membership of the parenthood ‘club’. And here they are.
1. Babies prefer to poo in clean nappies – the fresher the better, and especially if you don’t have a clean one in your bag. The moral of the story is to make like a boy scout and always be prepared.
2. If you wear black, the baby will vomit on you. Wear white and the nappy will leak. You will never be clean again.
3. Baby wipes can clean ANYTHING.
4. In a baby-proofed room full of toys, the average under three can locate a single small, sharp object in under a minute.
5. Dried-on Weetabix is tougher than Polyfilla.
6. The size of a piece of toast is inversely proportional to the quantity of crumbs your baby can create from it.

About Claire
Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!
