My son just turned 5 weeks old and I'm losing it. I thought I'd be more patient as a dad but I'm apparently the opposite. Wife says something reasonable like "can you watch him for
Took the wife and 8-week-old to brunch in Seattle yesterday and I was so anxious the whole time I couldn't enjoy my eggs. Every time the baby made a sound I was like 'oh god is he

I know everyone says new parents don't sleep but like... nobody really prepares you for how it actually feels. My daughter is 7 weeks old and I genuinely can't remember the last ti
Our 5-month-old runs hot and we're always worried about overheating. He kicks off blankets but needs something. Are there breathable sleep sacks that actually work or are we overth

Just experienced what I can only describe as a nuclear explosion from my 6-week-old's butt. It was EVERYWHERE. Up the back, somehow on his ear (?), in the crib. I just stood there

My daughter is 6 months and got her bottom front tooth last week. I thought teething was supposed to be painful, not THIS painful. She's barely sleeping, gnawing on everything, dro
He was fine with it up until a few days ago and now he just screams the entire time. I'm not forcing it because crying seems counterproductive, but I'm worried about his neck stren
So we got one of those little potty seats for our son (he's 2.5) mostly because he started showing some interest. He's pretty hit or miss with it. Some days he'll sit on it like 5
My 3-month-old is finally on a decent sleep schedule and I'm thinking about getting back to CrossFit like 4x a week. My wife thinks I'm crazy and that I should wait longer. Ngl I'm
