Learning along the way

I've truly been learning along the way. I recently learned several ways to put Alex to sleep, at first there was only one way; the rocking chair. Now she will fall asleep to the sound of my breast pump as she lies on the bed beside me. She will fall asleep during a walk (although some days it seems that fresh air keeps her wide awake), she will fall asleep in her swinging chair and sometimes she will fall asleep in the car. Thank goodness because after an hour or more of rocking in the chair my back was killing me.
I've learned that I really have to keep on top of Alex's clothes, much to my surprise she already fits in to her 3-6 month stuff!! I've learned to give up on trying to watch the odd T.V. show, I've learned that although newborns are a lot of work I try not to wish it away and I will cherish every moment of her life, I've learned that breastfeeding is one of the most difficult things I will be challenged with but what's best for my baby is worth enduring.
Some things that I have yet to learn; how do you "sleep when baby sleeps" when she mostly sleeps for short periods? When she takes her catnaps I try to eat, clean up a bit, do laundry or maybe make a phone call or two. What do you clean the baby tub with (for now I use her soap), and most important is how the heck do I keep the binky in her mouth?
