I spend like 3-4 hours a day reclined on the couch feeding or burping our 6 week old. My lower back is absolutely destroyed. I've tried adjusting positions but honestly when you're
Just me or does anyone else get weirdly sad going to Target for diapers and formula? Like I'm walking through the baby section and I'm thinking about how much money we're spending,
Quick celebration post because I need to document this before I jinx it: our 6 month old slept through the entire night. All of it. No dream feed, no 3am wake up, nothing. She went
My wife is exclusively pumping because feeding never clicked for us (no judgment intended but we just couldn't get there) and holy shit the time commitment. She's pumping 8 times a
First kid is 18 months, baby #2 due in 6 weeks. Everything feels less scary but also more chaotic because we have a toddler. Any dads on here with 2+ kids? What actually changes ab
Got one for $120 on sale at Buy Buy Baby before they closed. Worth every penny. At 3am when my daughter is screaming, having a bottle ready in literally 30 seconds instead of 5+ mi
Not in a regret way, just in a "we haven't had a conversation that isn't about the baby in 3 months" way. My wife and I pass each other like ships in the night. When we do interact
Best: The Snoo. Worth every penny. Our 2-month-old actually sleeps in it and my wife could shower without me panicking. Worst: Those fancy blackout curtains we bought for the nurs
Just finished my 8 weeks with my twins (boy/girl, 2 months old now) and I'm back in the office part-time starting tomorrow. Not gonna lie, I'm excited to have adult conversations a
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
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
