More Oil

This is a post specifically for expectant moms. When you are packing you bag for your trip to deliver your new baby, make sure you put in a bottle of olive oil.
The messy diapers that your baby will make during the first few days will be very sticky. It's actually called meconium, and is often hard to wipe off your baby's bottom.
There is a very easy solution to this that my mid wife introduced me to. Simply squirt a bit of olive oil on your baby's clean bottom each time you change their diaper. The mess will wipe off without any trouble!

    That's a neat tip. I didn't have to deal with much meconium the first time, seeing as some one already went potty in the womb. :P
