This is quite a comprehensive list of things for new fathers to expect when it comes to parenthood, mostly practical too:

"PJ's are a waste of time.

Infants are surprisingly portable. Don't be afraid to travel.

Try to enjoy each age of your child's life.

Learn good lifting technique. Your back is the first thing that will go. A squirming 10 pound baby is harder on your back than a 25 pound toddler who knows how to keep its balance.

If this is your first child, there is no way you can fully prepare yourself for what is about to happen. Try to relax, get some rest and don't panic." Reply to this article / Report this article

Re: washing dirty nappies by suttree, 501 days ago

It's no so bad. It's true that the teethig nappies are the worst, but using washable nappies isn't so bad. We keep a nappy bucket in the shower and use tea tree oil to keep it smelling fresh. The nappies get washed twice a week and that's the only time when you need a clothes peg on your nose.

I'm glad we've done it this way. the only real downside is that they're so bulky, our son can often look a bit 'padded', but it does come in handy when he falls over! We use bio-degradable disposables overnight though, because they last the whole night.
