    No one really talked about the hair loss after childbirth so when I was losing big clumps of hair I freaked out. It is completely normal.

    Nice one. And probably the right one for all those that will comment the series again with "finally no children for me".

    Keep up!!! I'm so proud of my wife for that... society is so f'd up with breastfeeding. It should be encouraged, not embarrassing! And of course I'm ok with the formula option, just don't make weird what should be (and is) the natural option.

    Children rarely get too cold despite our tendency to add the blanket. Can be done 10 times an hour, does not help anyway.

    Children in tantrums can be overwhelming. Go to another room and get some distance before you lose your temper.

    "Sleep like a baby" is really a stupid idiom. I prefer not to sleep like a baby, because it means to frequently wake up.

    That is why you should have all the changing stuff ready prior to taking the nappy off. If you have boys have 2 new nappies but to the side and as soon as you take the nappy off quickly cover the penis with a new one so if they wee it soaks into the new nappy instead of the carpet/floor etc. If he pees in the new nappy then at least you already have another spare.

    I cut my hair shorter to keep my baby from pulling it while breastfeeding. She just reached further to get the hair which made the situation even worse.

    When our son was born I taught my husband choking/CPR protocol. I never will forget what an instructor told me when I balked at the force required when attempting to dislodge an obstruction/perform compressions on an infant doll. “Trust me, when you are trying to save his life, bruises are the least of your worries.” I thought this was valuable as real scenario advice and repeated it to my concerned husband during the doll demonstration. One year later he saved our son’s life when he swallowed a cracker whole in another room. This hits home.

    This is the pain scale I use on my patients who aren't critical. 0-no pain, 10-stepping on a lego in the middle of the night on your way to the bathroom. Humor is the best medicine.

    I think a chip is implanted on our ear and butt while we're in the recovery room. As soon as you try to make a phone call or sit on the toilet it sends a signal to your children telling them they need something from mommy.
