Finding Gratitude in the Chaos: A New Parent's Guide to Thanksgiving
Navigating your first Thanksgiving with a newborn? It's like trying to coordinate a military operation – if your soldiers needed milk every 2 hours and had a meltdown without their afternoon nap. From designating a 'Sleep Captain' (sorry, Uncle Bob, someone has to watch those wake windows) to mastering the art of speed-eating turkey between feeds, this guide helps new parents survive the holiday chaos. Remember: your baby doesn't know it's Thanksgiving, and they certainly won't appreciate your aunt's famous sweet potato casserole. But with some strategic planning, you can enjoy both your mashed potatoes AND keep your little one's sleep schedule intact. Because let's face it – cold turkey is so 2022, but a well-rested baby is always in season.
