Yes that’s it for a while. Just be kind and gentle to it and to each other. It goes so fucking fast man. I have tears welling up because my last just turned 5 and so that part is gone forever. They’re just a lump. But they are a delicate, rapidly growing lump that is purely absorbing one thing, how you treat it.
The only advice I can give is that it’s 100% better to have it cry on its own for 5 minutes than for your exhausted brain to lose its temper with a shit-producing potato. Look after yourself too. We evolved to have ten other people around who would hold the baby when you needed a break.
