So, I'm 2 months out from being a dad for the first time and thought I'd be an idiot not to ask you guys to give me some nuggets of wisdom. We must have 100's of hours of collective parenting experience-I want to tap into that!
If like to know Anything that u saw coming but weren't prepared for, anything that surprised you, anything that u wish you'd known or anything that u knew but didn't really believe.
So hit me with your knowledge bombs!

As said, Calpol (and always make sure you're not running out) is a must. The only thing I'd add is before you leave the hospital, get the doctors to check for tongue tie (depending on the severity, it can greatly affect their feeding)! We'd never even thought of it, or been told about it, but our small person was diagnosed the day after we got home by the community midwife, and the waiting list for a snip is six weeks on the NHS round here! We went private, but it can cost a couple of hundred quid, so it's best to get it done before they leave the hospital if you can. Good luck!
