Awesome! Twice the reward! Best advice I can give for first 6 months, when you’re tested physically and emotionally is the old adage of “this too shall pass.” When at wits end, breathe and remind yourself of the above. The wins start stacking quickly once your child starts to smile and interact with you, but the first cpl months are a marathon.

Take shifts so each half can sleep, wash off the baby wipes with water to prevent diaper rash. Use the diaper cream.

I’m feeling old now, my youngest is 9 :)

Congratulations!!!

We just had our first son 13 days ago (due date was today) the best advice we got was that if we ever feel overwhelmed due to screaming or such, put the baby down and walk away for a moment to recover. The baby can handle screaming on their own for a few minutes, but to avoid accidentally being to hard on them, if we need a moment, it's really important to take it.

I love this thread with all the dads! You're all worth celebrating! Well done being awesome men, and awesome dads! I know you are because you're celebrating being dad's, and that on its own make you awesome!
