The Official TFK Father's Issues Thread. I don't know how they do it

We got a book on how to deal with babies before Rascal arrived. Against my instincts I read it and it saved us a lot of hassle. One of the best bits of advice was never let the baby sleep in your arms. Put them in their cot, if they cry, pick them up but put them back again. Luckily we had no colic issues with him so Iā€™m not judging the bad parenting that seems widespread on here.

Latest update.

Iā€™ve been sent on the hunt for Carobel in local pharmacies. Anyone try this?

Snorted it a few times back in the day ā€¦ not great.

Yes, this worked for us. Itā€™s a formula thickener. Think @anon67715551 recommended it too. But I thought your missus didnā€™t want to express?

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy once posted many years ago that colic was just an excuse for bad parenting. I wonder if heā€™d be as brave to say it again now.

She has this yoke called a haka (nothing to do with NZ rugby wankers)

Anyway when feeding, she puts this haka yoke on the other tit that baby isnā€™t feeding off and milk just drips into it. It isnā€™t a pump at all. A mad contraption. Weā€™ve a growing supply of tit milk taking over our freezer. Amazing scenes. Im very hopeful this will be our saviour now

You know what to tell her if she spills some out of the haka and gets upset?

Plenty more where that came from?

No use crying over spilt milk.

My missus didnā€™t really see the funny side of that one. Women can be funny about stuff like that.

My sleep deprived brain not on it today

Any of the fathers whose other halves breast feed ever have a sneaky taste of it or make a latte with it.

Itā€™ll be only right that big @Phil_Leotardo gets to make the announcement after your attempt to hoover up all the likes for his most recent addition

The haka is a game changer

Having typed this I then opened up Instagram to be met with ads for the Haka and Baby Massage courses in Cork. #beingwatched

OJust brought back a memory of when we were first time parents who hadnā€™t a clue what we were doing and changed nappies together(me holding up the legs etc)
I donā€™t even recall why but there was a period where Iā€™d sit on the couch in the middle of the night and let the baby sleep upright on my chest,
I watched the entire 1986 World Series on DVD over a period of s few weeks in that position, Christ we hadnā€™t a clue

Some right cunts harvesting cheap likes around here today.

Thereā€™s nothing cheap about giving birth and breastfeeding

But these cunts are only standing by looking at it. A fucking sling.
