re: First time dad: Update (pg. 7) for new dads!

Our little girl is 10 days old, and I’ve gotta say, it ain’t as bad as people make it out to be. First couple nights at home before that first pediatrician appt were rough because we weren’t feeding her enough and he basically said bump those feeding numbers up and unless you’re a total dumb arse, you can’t feed them too much.

3 am feedings suck and she’s a little randomly fussy between 7 and 11, but usually we can just feed her more and she’s back happy again.

Keep em fed, keep em in a dry diaper, and it’s an amazing experience about 95% of the day.

To be fair, we’re in our early 30’s and pretty much the last couple in our friend groups to have kids, so we’ve learned from everybody else’s problems. Couldn’t imagine having a child before 25.
