Quick question: we sometimes prop the bottle in our daughter's mouth (3 months) while she's lying down so we can get a break. We're not leaving her alone, we're right there. Is thi
I know this is unpopular but hear me out. I'm on paternity leave for 12 weeks total (my company offers it), I'm 6 weeks in, and I'm genuinely struggling. I love my daughter but I f

Seriously asking. My 3-month-old is a projectile spitter and I've ruined like 5 shirts, 2 car seats, and a sofa cushion in the past week. Laundry detergent, enzyme stuff, nothing i
I keep hearing about these magical moments where dads fall in love with their babies immediately. With my 2-month-old I'm... trying? I do skin-to-skin, I talk to her, I change diap
My 8 week old has been crying on and off all day. Not hungry, diaper is clean, not too hot or cold, I've burped him, tried different positions. He just... cries? My wife is running

7-month-old just did his first full night (7:30pm to 6:45am) and I woke up in a panic thinking something was wrong. He's fine, just... finally got there. We did a lot of sleep trai
Got a lot of unsolicited advice about gear before our daughter was born in November. Most of it was garbage. But these things have genuinely made life easier: Owlet sock (peace of
I've been home for 8 weeks and it's been the hardest, weirdest, most amazing thing. I actually feel like I know my son now. In 2 weeks I go back and my wife will be the primary aga
Made it through. Cried in my car in the parking lot on the way home each day but made it through. My 4-month-old is with my mom during the day and honestly that helps mentally know
