Long days, longer nights, very little sleep but some fairly memorable milestones come during those first 12 weeks. Sam and Len discuss the somewhat Groundhog Day routine that is formed during those first few months, the non-negotiable baby equipment that become a must and also the overlooked considerations that probably weren’t front of mind considerations until you really need to make sure you have considered them. All in a days fathering. Three months done... a lifetime to go. 

Ask any parent and they will tell you... that first month is so very memorable but at the same time it's a sleep deprived blur.

Sam and Len discuss their hazy memories of that first month with Chaz and Alfie. Settling techniques, sleep patterns, bonding with your baby and the uncontrollable curve balls that can be thrown your way at any time.

"OK... You can take your baby home now." This week, Sam and Len discuss leaving the hospital and coming home with their newest housemates and the countless new experiences that follow in those first few days. From the most cautious car trip you'll ever take, to the joys of cluster feeding and of course the subtle art of burritoing (swaddling).
