My wife's friend's baby is 2 months and supposedly sleeping 6 hours straight. Our 2-month-old is still doing 3-hour max stretches. Logically I know every baby is different, but I c
My son is 8 weeks old and literally will not nap unless he's in my arms or my wife's arms. The second we try to put him down he screams. We've tried the bassinet, the pack n play,
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
Looking at tandem strollers for when baby #2 arrives next month. Used a BOB single with my first kid and loved it but not sure if the double BOB is worth the $500+ or if I should l
This is tough to admit but I'm struggling. Our twins are 3 months old and my wife gets so much MORE support. Her mom is here constantly, our friends call to check on HER, family te
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

5 weeks old, sounds like a little piglet especially at night. Pediatrician said it's normal (still developing digestive system or whatever) but it's so weird. He's not in pain or a
So my son basically needs to be held to sleep. The second I put him down in the bassinet he wakes up crying. My wife keeps saying it's normal but I'm exhausted and worried I'm doin
Just me? We got the positive test and literally within 2 hours I'd ordered a video monitor, a fancy diaper pail, and somehow a $200 swaddle blanket set. Wife was like "we need to t
Got offered to take the full paternity leave (12 weeks, California) but my company culture is pretty intense and taking that long feels like career suicide. People act like anythin
Considering dropping $300 on one of these for our newborn coming in 6 weeks. I know I'm being that anxious first-time dad but honestly the anxiety about SIDS is killing me. Has any
So my son is 3 months old and my parents live nearby. My dad keeps getting irritated when people call him grandpa - he wants people to call him by his first name instead. Which...
And honestly I don't even know how to bring it up at this point. It's been hanging over us. I'm not trying to pressure her - I KNOW she's exhausted, dealing with recovery stuff, to
Looking for places that are good for a newborn/young baby that aren't the typical mommy-and-me class vibes. My son gets fussy being at home all day and I need to get out but I don'
So my MIL basically has a key to our place and comes over whenever. Baby is 6 months. Every time she's here she corrects how I do things - diaper changes, feeding, even playtime. M
Both our parents want to come stay "to help" when baby arrives in 2 weeks. My wife's mom wants a week, my mom wants a week, my in-laws want a week. That's 3 weeks of people in our
