Our 7-week-old will scream bloody murder if I hold her but the second we put her in the stroller she's out. Is this weird? My mom keeps saying I'm "spoiling" her by letting her sle
I thought we were prepared. We read books, took a class, had conversations about split duties. But the reality is my wife is still carrying most of the mental load even though I'm
We're expecting our second kid in about 4 months and my wife is pushing hard for a Snoo bassinet for the bedroom. I know people who swear by it but... it's $1500 for a fancy bassin
So my son is almost 3 months old and started doing this thing where he'll spit up like... violently. It's not just a little burp either, sometimes it shoots across the room. We swi
We're using formula with our 3-month-old twins because my wife couldn't produce enough and honestly the stress was destroying her mental health. I know fed is best and all that, bu
Wife and I are still debating this for our son due in 6 weeks. I'm leaning yes because that's what I had, wife is leaning no because she read some stuff about it being unnecessary.
We've got a newborn (8 days old) and a 2-year-old. I'm at the point where my wife breathes wrong and I want to snap at her. We're both running on like 3 hours of broken sleep. She

lmaooo okay so I was changing my newborn's diaper yesterday (literally my second diaper change ever) and he decided to absolutely detonate. I'm talking up the back, onto my shirt,
Update from my last post: So I was stressed about our 9-week-old's erratic sleep and someone in here suggested paying attention to wake windows instead of just trying to feed/sooth
Okay so this is apparently a good problem to have but like... my son decided last week he just wants to sleep 10 hours straight now. Which is amazing! Except I'm lying awake the en
So I've got a Model 3 and getting a carseat installed in the backseat is a NIGHTMARE. The seat belt routing is weird, the car is narrow, and the angle is off. I've tried three diff
Anyone here in Portland or nearby (Beaverton, Lake Oswego, etc)? I'm on paternity leave with my 4-month-old and going absolutely insane. Would be cool to meet up at a park or somet
Not asking for relationship advice necessarily, but like... my wife and I used to be spontaneous. We'd take weekend trips, we'd actually talk about stuff other than feeding schedul
I know it's expensive (got ours for like $1400 on Facebook Marketplace, lightly used) but after 3 weeks of our newborn only sleeping on me or my wife, we decided to try it. First n
Looking at getting a smart monitor and keep seeing these two mentioned everywhere. We're FTD in Seattle and want something reliable but my wife wants something that doesn't feel li
We have the Diaper Genie and it's... okay? But honestly our room still smells weird by week 1. Someone recommended the Munchkin Step, someone else swears by just throwing them in a
Moving to Portland next month with an 8-week-old and a 2-year-old. Our apartment is tiny so I need something lightweight and compact but not a jogger because those things are massi
This might get me roasted but I don't feel that overwhelming connection everyone talks about. Our daughter is 2 months old and honestly most of the time I just feel anxious and tir
He means well but he's the type to want to take over and do things his way. My wife is stressed about it too. How do you set boundaries with parents without being an asshole? Do we
