It's all good. We had our first monkey see monkey do / copy and paste incident the other week. We were at the mall visiting Santa when we were told Santa wasn't feeling well and would be leaving after us having waited in line for 30+ minutes with bout 10 other families. So the wifey let's out a disgruntled "that's stupid" comment then quickly explains the situation to the little one who then responds "aww man that's stupid, that's really fucking stupid". Parents in the immediate vincinty stared daggers at us. Hey! Oh shit look at the time gotta go. I blame Russia.
Just actually laughed out loud. :)

yea my wife has been on this 'no co-sleep' shenanigans. baby on my chest, both about to doze, she picks him up and he just starts crying. wtf, ill wake if he even shifts a bit, im a light sleeper. safe than sorry, i guess
Bullshit. Babies need lots of physical contact with their parents. Turns out it's emotionally essential. Even monkeys need it.

Stick to your guns on this one, that's my very best advice.

We had our baby at home with a midwife. During the classes with the midwife, videos of mommas without have having an epidural, the newborn latches on right away, where as the kids born via epidural took 15 or so minutes. Not sure how true that is, but supposedly has lasting affects. I don't know how they came to that conclusion though.
Not dissing the epidural, just sharing what i've been told.

I think it's called kangaroo care or koala care. The whole skin to skin contact thing. The hospital was real big on it. Not to get all serious or nothing but I know a chick who hung herself 3 months after the baby from the PPD so just keep an eye on your wifeys and give them lots of help and encouragement.

You can't spoil a newbie they cry because they physically need you or something

It's not
Like cave people just put the baby in another cave
They physically need to be around adults

LOL! Yeah you are right Aeroknow epidurals prolong labor especially second stage (transition).

Inducing a pre-eclamptic primipara with a premature fetus should have been a scheduled section in my opinion. In this instance the epidural was a very good thing. I won't elaborate. I'm just very glad it ended well. I was holding my breath for quite awhile that night.

I would argue that cave people probably didnt just put the baby in another cave. Breast feeding until 4-5 yrs old. Sleeping next to baby, etc, were most likely the norm. Don't you think?

Again, according to midwife classes, women in a hospital have unnecessary c-sections because of being in a hospital(added stress) and are supposed to pop out the kid on their(hospital staffs) time.
