TL/DR: try safe suggestions and don’t compare yourself to the Jones’s. do what works for you.

Save this somewhere if you can. I’m not saying I’m right but it’s what I tell most of my friends for their first kids

Your wife’s hormones are going to be everywhere and she will always feel like she’s being judged and not doing well enough during the pregnancy and after birth

Women are way worse than men as far as “flexing” how easy it was for them to conceive or deliver or lactate or get the baby to sleep or lat h etc etc etc until you start sharing your struggles then all of a sudden they start sharing their struggles too

Every single baby is different. There is no perfect answer on how to swaddle or burp or get a kid to latch or pass gas. If people give you a suggestion by all means try it. If it doesn’t work this week it might work next week

Be as patient as you can with your wife, but don’t be over accommodating. If you start staying up with her at 3:00 am while she feeds you’re both losing sleep for no reason
