We’re currently looking to start a family, so I thought I’d hit up YT for some advice as a male and the priority skew is mental. The most important thing is having a boy, apparently. Not tips for being supportive, how to help your partner, how to deal with anxieties about money and time.

Dad’s of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D
Support your wife with however she wants to feed. Breast fed only? Ok do you want me at the lactation specialist. Combo? Get good with the bottle. Formula only? Formula has gotten REALLY close to as good as breast milk, no judging.
You can take some night shifts if the baby takes a bottle, even if your wife doesn’t work and you do. Both of you should try to get 5 hours straight sleep per night, but you should know this will not work.
