Cigars and scotch to celebrate

Stuff to help your wife relax when she's done taking care of the baby

Netflix to watch on those late night putting it to sleep

Plenty of stain remover for poop/puke on your clothes


And Of course..a condom @ 8 months ago.

Just had our second boy 8 days ago... One thing a lot of new parents forget is the Mylicon.., the baby's stomach will have to adapt to the breast milk and will poop 10-12 times a day and there will be bad gas pains as well... Mylicon will be your friend.

Nothing man. Mom and baby got this for now. Just try and cook and clean up when you can. Also make sure you yourself get plenty of rest as well. Congrats!! It's the greatest experience of your life!


Great advice. Be proactive, always asking your wife if she needs anything or any help... Her body will be going through a ton of hormonal changes and she'll need you physically and emotionally...

The nosefrida is the grossest thing ever, but really works. You can get coupons from pretty much every baby product dealer from phone calls or emails.

If diapers were bought at target for y'all's shower they will take them back at any time. If you need a new size or brand. Just need your license. They give you a gift card for the value.

If yall are feeling wild a baby brezza is an automatic bottle maker. It's the shite!! Anyone who has ever spilled formula at 3:00am could tell you.

It's awesome have fun.

Not an item you need to buy, but the first few days, whenever you hold the baby make sure its head is pointing to your left (so its ears are next to your heart). It's accustomed to hearing your wife's heartbeat so that will have a calming effect.

Save this link to your phone and use it when you can't get your baby to calm down.

Screw that nose frieda thing. It may work, but no way I could use it. Grosses me out.

If we did anything, we bought too much. We never got a nice rocking chair, which would have been nice, but thats about it. We got by without it.

Mylicon helped for us as well until we ultimstely had to switch to senditive formula. There were also nights where absolutely nothing worked to g get him to bed. A little gripe water and he was passed out. Not sure what that stuff really is, but man does it work sometimes.

Gripe water was wonderful when we was using it.

Oh and BTW the wal mart brand (parents choice) of formula is EXACTLY the same as enfamil. So save your money
