Just noticed the newborn part. Lots of diapers and wipes at the ready, lots of pre-measured formula/ milk.
I have a newborn (white) son. We are basically confined to our house; family can't even visit

I wish there were a good set of children's books that focused on European History and Mythology.

Congrats on the kid, user! Here's some tips:
>Humans give birth to premature young compared to other mammals. Your son will be the equivalent of a baby monkey when he's three months old. Right now he's still basically a fetus, so don't take it personally if he just cries, poops, and sleeps. He'll "wake up" within the next 100 days and it will be amazing when you see it start happening.
>If you ever feel like your going to go batshit crazy, put him in an open-top box (with nothing else in it) and walk away. Look up Finnish baby boxes for an example of what I mean.
>My dad always said "Babies aren't complicated. If they're crying, they're hungry, sleepy, or they feel bad." and he was right. 99% of baby fussing is covered by those three categories, but the last one is overlooked a lot. Sometimes all the baby needs is a new set of clothes. Wouldn't you feel bad if you had sweat through your shirt and felt all sticky?

Thank you. Stay safe man. Are you able to be there for delivery? Or are you separated? Also, the hospital jewed us "oh he won't be born until 12 hours from now, don't get the epidural yet." Two hours later my wife is in agonizing pain and they do an emergency epidural and he is then born 20 minutes later.

Take advantage of their plastic brains and teach them a second or third language. Hire a tutor if necessary. Teach them chess at an early age and don’t be a lazy nigger.

Thanks user.
How do I find a caregiver that isn't Spanish to teach him? I don't want him speaking anything that isn't German or French, basically.

yes. very common. you sometimes gotta walk away and let them cry it out.
if youve tried the normal (food, gentle rocking, diaper check, burping) and baby is just going non-stop, you gotta just leave them in the crib to cry for a bit. it seems hard to do and mean, but it will usually result in baby giving up and you not throwing the cat.

I can't be there for the C Section (baby is breeched) due to lack of PPE, but I'll be allowed in the recovery room for the duration of the stay luckily.
