Great suggestion. We had the baby and have been using Huckleberry which has been nice.

Having more control is worth it if you want to self host the app

This is a great article. The number of toys that are just smaller versions of tools that adults use show that children want to help and be adults. I want to try to make sure I do this with my upcoming daughter and REALLY need to do this with any future boys I have. The number of young men who can’t do any cleaning or cooking is unsustainable. These are life skills that everyone needs to learn

Not a bad idea. Just get a little messy

Good idea about the reducing light. I use android so I will have to find the setting to reduce light.

I might get a paper agenda and an app.

Interesting. All the good names are duplicated I guess.

That is nice. I work from home so I don’t think being connected will be a problem while I am working. I will look into feed baby it seems to still be around.

I would also check out contraction timers or something for you to track them. It was super nice to have when riding to the hospital and before getting hooked up to all the monitors.

This is a great idea. Do you have a specific one? I see one on The Bump website. I assume that is super simple to use and find one

I think LunaTracker is made for tracking periods. A little early for that for our baby girl…

My wife loves to track things and is a little anxious. I think we will get one and likely not use it all the time or use it constantly.

I like the old school checklist but it is a little difficult on the go. But I know we will print somethings off at some point.

Minimal permissions is what I was looking for

Well I think I’ll try it out. As long as you aren’t getting tons of weird ads now it would be fine

Thanks for the recommendation

Great. I will add it to my list

Great advice. Thank you

I heard someone else say they didn’t like that book. I do love trusted sources and the Mayo is great. Why did you like it?

Thank you. We will try to cherish moments and remind ourselves we wanted this

Great suggestions. Its not at my library but I will look into it.

I have heard the “Nap when new baby naps” advice before. We will try to do it

No rush. One of the best things about Lemmy is how slow it is. We can have worthwhile threads and discussions for weeks

My wife and I went to a friend’s wedding in France to a French national in his small town. We were surprised and impressed with the small kids at the wedding. There was nothing child specific for them and they had a great time. Also I’m pretty sure they stayed up later celebrating than us. Good suggestion

Well Emily Oster’s crib sheets is at my library. So I’m adding it to my list

Thank you. Reading things helps me feel calmer and like I am preparing.

I considered reading the Mayo Clinics Guide but I will table it. Heading Home With Your Newborn is on my list now

I love to read many different valuable books so I can get some diverse ideas to come up with. If you can get some suggestions from your librarian wife that’s what I’m looking for

That’s true but I would still like to fill my brain with some knowledge for my guts to draw on.
