My daughter is 6 weeks and we've been using a nipple shield since day 3 because of latch issues. My wife's consultant said we should try weaning off it now but every time we do the
My son is 2 weeks old and everyone keeps asking if I'm so in love and obsessed and ngl I'm not really feeling it yet? Like I'm doing all the dad stuff - changing diapers, feeding,

Okay so we got a Snoo for our 2-month-old as a gift (my in-laws are loaded) and honestly? It works. She sleeps in it pretty well. BUT it costs like $1600 and I keep feeling weird a
Every. Single. Day. Leaks up his back, down his legs, sideways somehow. We've tried size 2, we've tried different brands, we've tried the expensive ones. He's 8 weeks. Is this a fo

Been thinking about grabbing one of these for my 2-month-old. The heart rate monitoring is appealing but also... do I really need to be alerted at 3am about oxygen levels? Might ju
I spend like 3-4 hours a day reclined on the couch feeding or burping our 6 week old. My lower back is absolutely destroyed. I've tried adjusting positions but honestly when you're

Quick celebration post because I need to document this before I jinx it: our 6 month old slept through the entire night. All of it. No dream feed, no 3am wake up, nothing. She went
My wife is exclusively pumping because feeding never clicked for us (no judgment intended but we just couldn't get there) and holy shit the time commitment. She's pumping 8 times a
First kid is 18 months, baby #2 due in 6 weeks. Everything feels less scary but also more chaotic because we have a toddler. Any dads on here with 2+ kids? What actually changes ab
Got one for $120 on sale at Buy Buy Baby before they closed. Worth every penny. At 3am when my daughter is screaming, having a bottle ready in literally 30 seconds instead of 5+ mi
Not in a regret way, just in a "we haven't had a conversation that isn't about the baby in 3 months" way. My wife and I pass each other like ships in the night. When we do interact
Best: The Snoo. Worth every penny. Our 2-month-old actually sleeps in it and my wife could shower without me panicking. Worst: Those fancy blackout curtains we bought for the nurs
