What to expect - the first year
Also attend the classes offered by your hospital on newborn basics - they were pretty helpful.
Congrats!
Please do taking cara babies. Also please do a breast feeding class. There is shit you will only learn 12 weeks after instead. Do these two as paid classes. Everything else, free to do use you tube, as there are many baby 101 classes which are there.
Also there is a paid app called wonder weeks. Costs 5 bucks. Believe me, it is a great investment for understanding major milestones.
Just sleep. Get lots of sleep now.
Echoing above and adding, pre birth:
- read what to expect
- download or read wonder weeks
- hospital class
- breastfeeding class
- sleep
After 3-4 months
- taking cara babies
After 6-8 months:
- little foodies
Thanks for the list!
Emily Oster's books: Expecting Better and Crib Sheet
Great data driven info about all the common rules/suggestions/ techniques.
Echo on Taking Cara Babies and The New Father
Pro
Dont forget to buy a good bottle of your liquor of choice. Enjoy, and congratulations!
Slight twist: really relish the books/podcasts you enjoy
New babies almost literally require 1440 minutes a day of adult attention. Savor your bored afternoons, long showers and autonomy to decide your own bedtime
The Expectant Father (Armin Brott) really helped me learn how to be supportive of my wife while she was pregnant — and eerily accurate in anticipating when she would be thinking / feeling about different things.
