So, my wife and I are expecting twins in November, and we're looking at different stroller/car seat options. The Baby Trend Sit N Stand Tandem Stroller seems to fit our needs, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and if they found it to be a good purchase? Here's a link to it...

He is almost two weeks old, but I have been so busy enjoying him, I never got a chance to introduce him. Its been almost surreal. He is actually asleep on my chest as I am typing this. Jack Seamus, born 10/3/15 at 9:36 am VIA c-section. 8lbs 7oz and 20-3/4". See you fellas on the other side.

Hey there, My wife is 34 weeks pregnant with Di/Di boys last Thursday we were sent to L&D triage to address high blood pressure (140s/90s). After labs we found that her urine marker for preeclampsia was just over the 0.30 reference range at 0.34. Today we went in for a growth scan and twin A...

I have seen a lot of miscarriage posts and want to act as a reassuring voice for those who have lost loved ones. My wife suffered a miscarriage and an ectopic and now we are at around 10 weeks gestation. I want to set the record straight on miscarriage risk. I feel that it should be normalized...

Dads I felt like a piece of poop at 11pm, when I realized most places are closed in my area, that the tooth fairy would disappoint a 7 and 10yr old. But dad guilt woke me up and reminded me of the gas station that was now open 24/7 again. I went in and purchased an item and the clerk was more...

I can keep a pretty strong poker face so I'm trying to come up with ways I can troll my wife about the gender since she's decided not to know it yet. So I've got about 4 months to F with her. Suggestions welcome.

Hello fellow dads, I’m looking for some insight. My wife is 7 months post partum and has no sex drive. She’s exclusively breastfeeding/pumping. I was just curious on how long this period lasted. Obviously I’m helping with the baby, washing bottles and pump parts, giving her time alone, I cook...

My wife is 37 weeks and her water broke this morning! I went to work as we weren't 100% sure it'd happen today, but she had the midwives confirm she definitely had her water break so they're saying we've gotta be induced today. Headed home to pack (thought we had more time, DON'T MAKE MY...

What's the split ratio between NB and 0-3 months?

My wife got pregnant last March, we were over the moon excited. Had our ultrasound, heard the heartbeat emotions were high. Unfortunately we had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. It was very difficult and we were devastated. After months of trying to conceive again we finally did it. We are at 7 weeks...

I have a 3 year old daughter, and it has been the joy of my life to be her Dad. She's just so happy, affectionate, smart, beautiful and well-adjusted. Since, she's come around I've been jotting down the important things I wish I'd or been told when I was younger. Below is my list so far. Dad's...

Dear Daddit, today I received my son's MRI results following his radiotherapy treatment. It was the worst news and has hit me like a truck. His brain cancer has grown back in several new locations. I previously posted in AskDocs about his highly aggressive and very rare brain cancer, here...

Me and my wife are going to use a (Graco) Pack n Play for the first 6 months of our daughters life and then move on to a crib. Anyone here do the same thing or have gone through the same process and ended up cribbing the whole way through?

I’d love to get some thoughts on my situation. My wife and I have spent ages trying to decide whether or not to go for a third. We’ve got two boys (2 + 4) and my wife is desperate for a third. The stumbling block is that we are both in pretty busy jobs (hers more than mine), which means that...

My 7y.o daughter and I just finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra and I need some advice on what we could start next. We started watched Avatar a few months ago which was awesome because it brought back some sweet sweet nostalgia for me and it’s amazing watching my...

My wife was pregnant with our second child. We had seen a beating heart at 8 weeks, so we were rather confident already. She was at 9+6 on Tuesday when she began spotting a little bit. She had never done that with our first so obviously, she got a little scared. She slept on it and in the...

Seeing my kids expressions when I do the simplest of tricks is one of my favorite things. The detached thumb, quarter behind the ear, disappearing behind a thrown blanket while not hitting your knee running into the other room, etc. They're not all magic tricks, just mind blowers in general. I'm...

I have submitted a couple of these since my boy was born and I hope they were helpful. Here is what I wasn't told about with months 3-6. Teething sucks. Just when you got your sleep routine down and your little one sleeps through a couple of nights here and there BOOM teething. He's back to...

I would love to start taking my trips to bigger vacations, such as somewhere over seas or even just Disneyland. At what age is it worth it to splurge on a slightly expensive trip? They’re happy with play grounds and Chuck E Cheese, but it gets repetitive for my wife and I. A change of scenery...

So 7 weeks ago tomorrow my first child (a little girl) was born, we didn't know the gender until birth. Birth story is here but I'm at work (still mad about that) and don't feel like working that much so when I am at my desk I will field all questions honestly CAUTION though I have a sailor's...
