Any good theory rec's for babies? Not baby leftists, like an actual baby

    Mine is 5 weeks and we're doing, overall, great. Sleep is already getting better. Right now I'm in the waiting room to see a lactation consultant cause he gets fussy when breastfeeding sometimes. What about you?

      Pretty good so far. Cluster feeding in these first days has been tough but we've managed to get him to go down for a few hours at least once or twice each day so at least there's been some breaks

      Recovery and transition to home a bit stressful for my partner. Glad our cat isn't like hissing at him or anything, mostly just wanting our attention same as she did before it's like she barely notices the baby

      Emotions so high whenever anyone says congrats I almost cry lol

        My cats have reacted the exact same way. Mostly annoyed by the time they aren't getting, otherwise they just think the baby is stinky.

        Do either of you have time off work?

            My boss agreed to let me work from home for three months and now he's being a dick about so I have to go in and argue with him tomorrow

              That sucks man. Mine has made some similar not-in-writing assurances for me that I'm a little wary of taking full advantage of tbh since they might come at a 'cost' like that down the line.
