People give lots of advice to parents of new babies.  But there's nothing that can sufficiently prepare  you for the experience  that you're about to embark upon.  You will fall in love and be amazed with your little bundle of joy. You'll be exhausted and sometimes terrified.  You'll be filled with a sense of pride and humbled by the awesome responsibility of caring for and raising a child.  Enjoy the ride and cherish the early days because time will pass very quickly.

Congratulations
Erika

PS - the best piece of advice that anyone (my mom) gave me right after the birth of my first son was "sleep when the baby sleeps"

I was shocked, then sad, then totally fine with the fact that I wasn't good at giving those first weeks of baby baths. They stressed me out and that stresses out baby. Luckily, my partner was fantastic at bath time and that became his thing.

A baby is a gift from God.
There are no words that can  describe what you feel when your baby recognizes you for the first time and smiles.
Remember: Enjoy each moment because the life goes so fast!

Useful not only for preparing quick one-pot meals for yourself (dry beans straight from the bag take about 1hr.), but you can steam things really quickly for pureeing baby food and also sterilize baby gear equally quickly.  You can of course make baby food items with this and a food processor, but if you really want to go the luxe route, baby food makers are pretty great all-in-one units.  We use EVLA's brand and it's pretty solid.

It's easy to think that you're messing up and not doing parenting "the right way," whether it's breastfeeding latch, or setting up a college fund or whatever. Do your due diligence talking to others and reading the research, but ultimately, you have to listen to what your inside voice says feels right, because there's never been a perfect parent.

The midwives recommended that we make post-natal ice packs by filling condoms with 50% water and 50% alcohol (I had to substitute rum because it was during the great sanitary and breadmaking supplies shortage of mid-2020), but danged if they aren't the best and coldest ice packs I have ever used. (I used a lot playing rugby). --Rene.

Hey Grace!!
The best advice I can share is " Do what works best for you and your baby!" Everyone will have an easy skill or strategy that helped in changing diapers, breastfeeding, giving him a bath etc... but you and Liam have been growing together for 9 months.. do what works best for you and him! Also ask for help whenever you feel the need!
Wish you nothing but Peace and Blessings!
Boys are the best because they forever love their Moms
