re: How did your life change when you had your first newborn

You will find you love that child more than your wife and she the same. That child comes first in everything and the stuff you use to love todo takes a back seat. I have 2. One with my first wife and one with my 3rd ( insert joke here). One boy one girl. Greatest blessings God ever gave me.

I was a Sr in college, my wife was an RN working for VA at the time we decided we could handle the situation. She saved her annual leave and had maternity leave. She worked up to the week she was to deliver. After our son was born she was out a couple of months then went back to work. I took care of the boy in the morning, she came in from work and fed him, then she went to sleep with him. We were fortunate, no health problems and he was easy to keep comfortable and happy.
Did I mention my wife is an Iron lady who requires little sleep to function.
He was born in April, I graduated in August, employed in October.
I enjoyed my boys and never considered it a chore. We have the same relationship today.

I don’t get what you’re saying

Your situation is different, my wife stays at home so my daycare is 0 and I make 200k. My daughter eats very little and goes through 30 diapers a week, it’s not bad.

This is the same guy who said he wouldn’t be happy with a crypto currency going from $3-$50. Said that is a joke return on his investment and a waste of his time if that’s the price prediction

What if you need to take meds that transfer to the baby through breast milk and are harmful to baby?

A lot less hangin with friends or just doing your own thing whenever. Really no free time to speak of. Every free moment is taking care of a baby. Your life now revolves around the kids schedule.

There are circumstances that warrant formula.

They way he was lecturing about breastfeeding I would have sworn he had boobs.

Don’t let my name fool you, I’m a full grown dad.
