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.

Bonus feed

Dad’s of Lemmy could you share some good advice for someone just starting a family please :D

    Stay away from YouTube. There is some stuff you’ll need a howto for (swaddling a baby, correctly installing a car seat, cleaning bottles), but YouTube won’t help with the important things.

    Like others say: be there for your partner. Don’t expect an immediate connection with the kid (it took 6+ months for me). Be proactive about helping out.
