So I take the kid out of his crib. By the time I successfully complete this process, it's time to put him back.

He did it a bit strangely. We do it like in the third picture, then the baby comes into the horizontal piece in a position where its belly hugs the parent and its legs are spread and the knees bend. the straps around his neck go criss cross over the babys back and under it‘s knees (left strap under right knee, right strap under left knee), then they go to the parents back and knotted together. Very comfortable, very warm for baby and parent has both hands free.

Most dudes just hold a baby in one arm and handle anything that comes up with the free one. It's a pride thing.

    Bored Panda reached out to Sidneyraz, the creator behind these viral videos, to find out more about how becoming a dad changed his life, from content creation to sharing his daily wisdom with the viewers.

    Sid confirmed that being a dad is definitely transforming his videos. “Being a dad so far is very different! There are so many things I didn't know before I was a dad. I really love it, in total honesty,” he told us.

    “I started my content as if I was talking to myself and now I'm doing the same. I'm doing my best to impart practical wisdom to new parents before they need it like I wish I had,” Sid explained.

    My son was like 2 months old. 2a wakes up crying. Go to see if he needs to be changed. Has a little poop but no big deal. Getting the new diaper on every time I pick him up to slide the new diaper under he lets out a bunch of farts each time he does I duck and cover setting him down expecting the worst. Seems like the coast is clear and I commit to the lift and slide. Kid let's out a fountain of poop with me holding him in the air. I can't drop him so end up tanking it right to the face. So much there is a literal negative outline of me behind me of no poop. It's still 2a so I have to endure all this silently and sneak back into the room for clothes for me without waking the wife and shower in the cleansing fires of Mordor

    My little girl was a shitsnipper and you never knew when it was coming. I bought my little boy and girl matching Ralph Lauren outfits for their first birthday. My little boy would make grunt faces right before the big reveal. My little girl on the other hand was very modest and never let you know what was about to happen or was happening at any given time. She pooped before getting her dressed for pictures. On the way to get them done my truck started to smell like dumpster juice. I pull into a parking lot and sure enough, her a*s had exploded. The poop was all the way up to her neck and she wasn't even laying down. Her shitcapades were epic.

    It's a brush for washing baby bottles. The little one you use for washing the inside of the top (don't know what it's called in English), since the big one is too big for that.

    When you're a new parent and severely sleep deprived everything everything becomes an exciting new adventure. And I don't care how much you spend on baby gadgets, you will end up using whatever is laying closest to you at the time to complete whatever task is at hand.

    Some adult diapers have similar features, too. But, usually, the size needed doesn't change every few months, so ... in case you need - find one that fits, and hope they won't change it.
