My in-laws want to get us something expensive for the baby registry and suggested a $300+ video monitor setup (like Nanit or something). We have a basic $40 Amazon one that shows t
I'm 6'3" and the Ergobaby I got doesn't fit right. Strap doesn't sit properly, baby sits too low. Any recommendations for carriers that actually work for taller guys? Tried the Lil
Seriously considering buying stock in Diaper Genie because this thing has saved our lives. We got the Munchkin at first (mistake) and it smelled like a landfill after 2 days. Switc
UPDATE: Switched to the Burt's Bees organic cotton wraps and our 3-month-old finally sleeps for more than 45 minutes. We tried: Love to Dream (waste of money) Swaddleme velcro (he
Sounds stupid but hear me out. We went to Riverside Park in Portland this morning, and my son actually played independently for like 20 minutes without needing me. He was climbing
Got like 3 of these things as gifts and my 4-month-old just stares at them while I flail the toys around like an idiot. Cost me $200+ combined. Am I using them wrong or are babies

My wife brought up having a second baby and I nearly spit out my coffee. Our daughter is literally 3 months old. I still feel traumatized from the birth experience, we're not sleep
Real talk - is there such a thing? My in-laws keep saying I need to "let her cry and self-soothe" but she's 6 weeks old. I feel like the whole "you can't spoil a newborn" thing is
Quick question - are the angled bottles actually better or is that marketing? We're combination feeding and I want to make sure we're not doing anything that could cause issues.
Had it hit me today. I was driving to work and this song came on, and I just thought about how my daughter is at home right now and I'm responsible for keeping her alive and not tr
This might be a weird question but I'm noticing my wife is just... distant lately. Our son just turned 2 months old. She seems annoyed when I try to be intimate, which I get, but e
Flying from Seattle to Boston with wife and 5-month-old in 3 weeks. Have done the research, have the car seat, have the bottles. But I'm still catastrophizing about everything that
So my son is 4 months old now and I STILL feel like I'm playing house sometimes. Like I'm babysitting and his real parent will come pick him up soon. Is that normal? I change diape
My wife got cleared at 6 weeks (no complications, thankfully) and I'm not gonna lie, I was excited. But the reality is she's exhausted, touched out, and honestly so am I? We tried
