Why does poop have to go UP the back sometimes?? Changed my 8-week-old's diaper at 4am and somehow the damage went all the way up to his hairline. HAIRLINE. Had to give him a full
My 3-month-old went 5 days without pooping last week and I was freaking out reading WebMD articles at 2am. Then he exploded EVERYWHERE - blowout that went up his back somehow??? No
We did the bassinet thing for 5 months (felt like forever) and this week moved our daughter to the crib in her own room. First night I checked on her like 47 times but she did grea
Been trying for weeks now. My wife pumps, I do the feeding, but as soon as my daughter sees the bottle she starts crying and reaching for mom. It's like she knows it's me holding i
My 7-month-old has suddenly decided car seats are torture devices. He was fine for the first few months and now screams the entire time. We're not doing anything different. We've t
Took 2 weeks off when our daughter was born in March. Got back to the office yesterday after finishing my parental leave and man... the office feels so empty and pointless now. I k

My son is 8 weeks old and everyone keeps talking about how I should be bonding with him or feeling this instant love or whatever. Honestly? I feel like I'm just doing tasks. Change
My 4-week-old son looks like he has moderate acne and I was NOT prepared for this. I keep wanting to do something about it but the pediatrician is like "leave it alone" and apparen
We spent like 6 weeks figuring out what works for our 3-month-old's naps - wake windows, contact nap vs crib, all of it. Finally getting predictable 1.5-2 hour chunks twice a day a
Honest question - we have like 6 different changing stations around the house, a baby monitor with 720p video, a white noise machine, blackout curtains, a temperature-controlled hu
We switched to formula at 8 weeks because breastfeeding wasn't working and we all desperately needed sleep. Logically I know this is fine and healthy and the kid is thriving. But e
Not trying to be a downer but I'm struggling with this. My wife and I used to have a pretty active sex life before our son was born (he's 6 months now) and now it feels like she do
I thought we planned for this. We had savings. But we didn't account for: Copays for all the appointments Diapers/formula being more expensive than we budgeted My wife working part
