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
He's 4 months. I just went to buy milk and eggs. Took 45 minutes instead of 15. He cried for 10 minutes in the checkout line. But I did it and nobody died. Why does this feel like
This is gonna sound cheesy but I don't care. Our son is 8 weeks old and seeing her with him, the way she responds to his needs, how patient she is even when she's exhausted... it's
So this is more relationship stuff than dad stuff but you guys probably get it. My wife and I haven't had sex since like week 2 postpartum (she's healed since then but just hasn't
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

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
Okay this is gonna sound bad but my wife and I barely talk anymore and when we do it's just logistics. "Did you feed him? When's his next nap? Can you change this diaper?" We used
Our pediatrician in Columbus (Dr. Matthews at Riverside Pediatrics) is fine but the office staff is absolutely incompetent. Takes 3 weeks to get an appointment, they lose records,
In the hospital they made holding look so complicated. Now at 2 weeks I'm still nervous about his neck, like it's going to snap. I know it won't but I'm not confident yet. Do you j
She was clearly overwhelmed last week (I see that now) but I was also exhausted and just tried to keep my head down. She finally snapped at me about not stepping up and it turned i
Baby arriving in 3 weeks and I've watched like 5 videos on proper newborn holding technique. My hands still feel too big and clumsy. Is this something that just clicks when the bab
2 HOURS. For a walk around the block. Why does getting a 3-month-old out of the house require: outfit change (spit up), diaper change (surprise poop), feeding, packing the diaper b
Our 3-month-old has silent reflux and it's absolutely brutal. She's uncomfortable, spitting up constantly, arching her back, not sleeping well. The pediatrician prescribed Zantac b
