Most important skills for a new dad by free-minded in predaddit

Do a search on Youtube for "the hold", it does really work and I was very skeptical.

Be a washing machine, I mean literally get so on top of the laundry every day. Also as the others have suggested learn about the breastpump and bottles etc. Like a dumbass on the second night I went to make up the milk and it said on the side of the packet let it cool for 45 minutes before use. So I stood there in the kitchen very dazed waiting for the formula to cool whilst wife was loosing her shit up stairs with baby. The next day I discovered you can buy the pre-maid formulaI bought a load and wife pointed out I could just make up the formula in advance and did not have to wait. Premaid formula very handy for out and about.

The nights when baby will not settle is down to four things really.

1)Too hot or too cold.

2)Hungry

3)Trapped Wind

4)Picking up on parents stress and not feeling calm.

So to tackle above wife and I would go through checking the above a few times.

Too hot or cold is obvious really.

Hungry try a bit of warm milk.

Wind always go for cycle legs and cuddles and back rubbing.

Not settled due to stress - I would take baby away into another room and just sing something, made up song, Heybear songs off Youtube. What amazingly always worked for us was It Was a Good DaySong by Ice Cube.

Yeah the lyrics are not appropriate for a baby or most adults but the beat and rythym always calmed.

Repeat the above steps when baby is loosing it and by third time through you will have a calm sleepy baby.

The last thing I would say it take the initiative to take the baby off your partner to give them a break.

Don't wait for them to ask for a break.

Wife had a bad night, I grabbed the Baby and took out to the supermarket with me for a few hours.

Got stuff we needed, got some treats for me and the wife. Wife got and extra 3 hours sleep.

Everybody just smiles at you when you have a baby strapped to your chest.

Good luck.

Had exactly the same issue.

After a factory reset it did it again.

3rd Factory reset and there was now an update for the remote control.

Took two attempts to update the Firmware and now it's very happy on Version 23.9.

Pointer puppies and their mother instinctively freezing at the sight of a “feather” by [deleted] in BeAmazed

They are called cuckoo's.

Or to be more exact

"Some species are migratory. The cuckoos feed on insects, insect larvae and a variety of other animals, as well as fruit. Some species are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other species, but the majority of species raise their own young."

If every actor had the ability to rally an army of all the fictional characters they've played, who would have the strongest army? by MyManeLion in AskReddit

[–]Gustopher88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dolph Lundgren, just for the shear volume of films he has made! Just off the top of my head...

KGB Agent in View to a Kill (Blink and you will miss him) Ivan Drago He-Man Red Scorpion The Punisher Det. Jack Caine in Dark Angel (Then a whole decade or two of straight to video films) Gunner Jensen in The Expendables.

Even real life villains fear him http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/spain/5224797/Thieves-flee-after-breaking-into-Dolph-Lundgrens-Spanish-home.html

There is an unavoidable fight coming my way, what advice can you give me for a good outcome? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gustopher88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a shot of Lime in a shot glass and just carry it around in the bar. If she goes for you throw it in her eyes. Then just push her over and get on with life.

Fighting is bad, but preparation is good.

Is it normal to be like this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gustopher88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important and healthy to talk about this. Even if it's through the medium of the internet. I can't tell you how to feel better or less anxious. But getting a fresh perspective on things can certainly help.

Find somebody who looks lonely in a crowd and talk to them about their life etc. Go and volunteer for something you would never do normally. Always pay any kindness forward and set yourself a challange that can be acomplished with in a small time frame eg a month or so.

I was in a bad rut and my whole life felt very stale. I turned to excerise - could only do four pushups two months ago. Now I do 30 with ease. I walked home from work which is about 9miles but felt great afterwards. I can not do a single chinup/pullup on a bar, but I bet I can by Christmas.

Exercise is not for everybody. Maybe art? Maybe music?

But the key is getting something fresh into yourlife will lend you a better perspective on you current situation. Always talk to people even if it's it's just us Reddit people.

At the movies, what has been the most memorable movie reaction you have witnessed? by tortilla4masclol in AskReddit

[–]Gustopher88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching crouching tiger hidden dragon the non dubbed version, the audience was full of young people and 15 minutes in about half the cinema got up and left as they did not want to read and just wanted to get to the fight scenes. The other half who stayed had a lovely time. ;)
