We get to leave the hospital tomorrow and I've never been so scared in my life. What if I do something wrong? What if I can't hear him breathing? What if I break him somehow? Every

Our little guy is 3 weeks old and refuses to sleep in the bassinet. The second we put him down he screams bloody murder. Wife and I are taking shifts holding him so we can at least
Holy crap. Literally. That's all I have to say. I thought I was ready. I was not ready. It was in the hair. THE HAIR. My wife was laughing so hard she was crying while I was standi
She's only 6 weeks old but I swear it wasn't just gas. We made eye contact and she smiled. My wife says I'm imagining it but I know what I saw. Might be the best moment of my life
My wife wants to pump so I can do some of the night feedings and give her a break. She's exhausted and honestly I want to help more. But we're worried it might mess with her supply
