Oddbean new post about login | logout In the hospital with the birth of our first daughter. Any advice from you experienced girl dads?
Congratulations!!! 🌻
I don't have advice specifically for girl dads. For the first couple of weeks, it's about survival. take care of mama as much as possible. physically and mentally. fill her water bottle. keep her fed, warm and rested. Let her do what she needs to take care of baby. The first few weeks post partum, hormones are cray cray. Congrats! you're in for a ride :)
Congratulations! How was the first week?
First week has been good. Momma is recovering well and baby is an angel.
So stoked for you and your wife! Having a baby girl is awesome! I have two and they are my treasures. You will do just fine. 🙏🏻
Just savor every minute. She will be your first true love. Couple winks of the eye and she will be grown and gone. "With kids the days are long, but the years are short"
Congratulations! Give her a long leash. Be present in her upbringing and trust her. Allow her to make mistakes. It was hard for me to do. We aren’t at teenage years yet, so we’ll have to see if all the hard work pays off. Relax and breathe.
Congratulations ! Try to get involved as much as possible (feeding, bathing, changing diapers, etc.)
Mom needs you in these coming weeks more than ever. Don’t expect her to make sense most of them time, just be her hero 😂
Oh and also DO NOT VACCINATE your daughter. I can’t stress this enough. Every single person I know who thinks vaccines are fine has never read into them, and everyone single person I know who has read into them will not give them to their kids. 100% correlation
