How true!
I remember having my third- on a ward with lots of first timers. At breakfast, we were all munching cereal at the table in the center of the ward. One by one, all the mums left their breakfast to go rush to their babies side for the slightest sigh.
My baby started to cry when I was halfway through eating. I stayed put- it wasn't a "crisis cry."
A midwife came in, took a look around the room & chuckled. She said "You can tell whose had a baby before", & gave me a knowing wink.

Following a loud "Finished, please wipe my bottom" I asked no 1 to wipe no 2's bottom with a little bribery...the task was done swiftly, without complaint (OK a few loud noises holding nose).
Bribery works most times and what a useful tool it is :lol2:
