Exactly. That’s why you shouldn’t make sweeping judgments about others’ parenting

The nursing shaming is horrible

You’re a mother trying to provide nutrients for little Penelope, who cares about what others think? They aren’t worried about you.

I’m going to deny my kid valuable nutrients because I’m worried about what joe over there thinks? wtf

Had twin boys so I lost almost all of my free time for the first 6 months. Now they're 14 months and it couldn't be more fun.

Honestly, the best thing about being a father is the pride you get from providing for them.

Not feeding your child the best nutrients is the definition of selfishness, lazy parenting.

What do you have to say about women that don't produce enough breast milk?

The weirdest adjustment is not having free time. Get the baby on a schedule as soon as possible as it will make your life so much easier. Early bedtimes allow mom and dad to enjoy some time like before kids.

I wouldn’t trade my kids for anything. It’s like having a built in best friend.

I hear this all the time and wonder what’s the difference? Perhaps not having to raise them? Whatever, I can’t wait.

Best day of my life. Don't let people fool you though. Babies are easy. They eat, sleep, and poop. Toddlers....they are truly assholes.

Don't babies have to eat every 2-3 hours? Your kid was going 8 hours without a feeding??

Mine was sleeping 5-6 hours at a time at 2 months, eating, then immediately crashing for another 2-3

It was actually a pretty awesome schedule and I miss it
