Had one of those explosive poops yesterday that went up the back and somehow into the baby's hair. It was 2am and I have no idea what I was doing. Do I just expect this to happen l

3 weeks in and I think I've had maybe 12 hours of actual sleep. It's 2am and the baby has been up for the last hour screaming and neither of us can figure out what's wrong. My wife
We got home yesterday and I haven't slept because every time the baby makes a sound I wake up to check if she's breathing. My wife says this is normal and not to worry but I'm genu

My boy is 3 weeks old and literally will not stay asleep in the bassinet. The second I put him down he starts fussing. My wife says it's just how newborns are but I'm exhausted and

We're looking to transition our 3 month old to mostly bottles so my wife can get a break and I can help more with feeding. She's been exclusively breastfeeding but her supply is go
Why didn't anyone tell me how fast babies can poop? We got home from the hospital yesterday and I opened the diaper during change number 3 and it was just everywhere. On the changi
My wife had to go back to work earlier than expected so we're doing a mix of breast and bottle now. Son seems fine with both but I'm wondering if we're doing it right. He eats like
My daughter is 3 weeks old and I don't think I've slept more than 2 hours straight in a week. I keep seeing things that aren't there and I forgot where I parked at the grocery stor
