10 Things To Never Say To First Time Parents

6. Anything Comparing Their Baby To Another Baby

"Well my baby could stand up by now." "My baby could crawl after a month of being born." "We had sex two weeks after I gave birth." Okay so the last one has nothing to do with their baby, but the process of making a baby still counts. Every parent will learn at different paces and so do children; so comparing their baby to another is just going to make them worry unnecessarily that something is wrong with their child, even when there isn't. They also won't care if their baby can crawl after a month because that's just crazy and also, their baby is always going to be cuter.
