how were your experiences with your first child? how much sleep did you get? how much time did you have for your partner or your hobbies?

I have to say, I'm glad that I don't have to work now and can focus on my family

Sleep? I think I averaged 5-6 a night but my wife didn’t get as much. It really changed once I could take the 3am shift with a bottle.

I had enough time to get a 20-30min workout in but hobbies (besides listening to podcasts or audio books) pretty much fell off.

Looking back on it, it was all kind of a sleep-deprived blur for six-ish months. We’re about to have our second so my baby advice might be refreshed here in a few weeks 😂

Changing diapers and cleaning spit up cloths is a hobby!

it feels like one 😄 did you work full-time with your first child?

I had two weeks off and then back to full time work but my boss let me WFH which was nice. My wife has 12 weeks off which is great!

do you live in the usa?

that's one of the good things about germany my wife and me can easily stay at home for a year or more without losing our jobs.
