I'll pass on what the Padre said to me on the day he Christened my twins...
"Love the mother!"
Hope that helps

First off, congratulations.  Breastfeeding, there is no substitute and for as long as circumstances allow.  Drinking from bottle in cot can cause inner ear inflammation.  When baby is taking first steps, do not remove fragile items from baby's reach, use the magic words instead, no, that is forbidden.  Lastly, love, lots and lots of love, kids thrive on it and it pays off when teen years arrive.

Help your missus to stay sane. Lot of pressure on women to do the'right' thing
Both mine were caesarian section due to complications. My missus couldn't express milk but that didn't stop the leche mafia from being extremely judgemental, including bringing round a pumping system to 'encourage' her
Now, my missus is a lot brighter than me but found this so intimidating that she strapped herself in despite there being nothing there
Luckily my mother in law (Polish, don't mess) said that the situation was ridiculous and the baby went straight on to the bottle .....(after 48 hours of tears and self recriminations, not to mention a very hungry baby)
One happy baby resulted (now at Manchester doing Physics), one relieved wife and one group of hacked off leche Mafiosi who gave me a right rollicking when I returned their wretched milking kit
You know what, I didn't care. I should have done it earlier
Lesson learned. Keep balance. Don't go faddy. Look after the ones who need you by keeping the faddistas away

Yep, the sleep deprivation thing should only last about 2 years so nothing to worry about there.
Congrats in any case! 

If you had her properly trained she would be bringing the drinks in to you...

I keep threatening to write a book about my parenting technique, it seems to have worked brilliantly. 
ignore them. 
when our oldest was little, my wife would be at work, and I’d be working from home. She’d be in the living room watching CBeebies, and id be working next door in the office. She’d call for a drink, I’d say sure, just a minute. But a minute would turn into half an hour, and by the time I got up to make her a drink she’d given up waiting and just made her own. 
A few more years like that and now she’s 10 and totally independent. She can come home from school and make her own dinner. She’s way more responsible than I am. 

First off...congratulations!
You seriously dont need advice on how to be a parent, it will just come naturally! Sure you will pick up tips along the way but everyone does parenting in a way that suits their circumstances, all kids are not the same and consequently all parenting is not the same.
You will find that you parenting evolves to suit your own personal situation.
There is only one piece I would ever give in relation to parenting and that is, enjoy every second of it because time flies, kids grow up so fast and you never know what is round the corner!
Enjoy!

Breastfeeding. Then you won’t be the one that gets up in the middle of the night. 

Congrats! 
Im in no place to give advice as Im not a parent or ever will be one for that matter. But Being a parent is a priviledge not a right. I trust you to do your best and be there for the kid, and thats all that matters!

When baby is crying, make sure mum is within earshot....

If baby won't drink cold milk, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Don’t read online forums. 

Both. Any more tips will cost you a tena.

So whilst I have my lovely step daughter who I met when she was 2, me and my fiancé have recently found out we are expecting. Whilst I’ve learnt on the job per say and feel I’ve mastered toddlers I was wondering if anyone has any hints/tips when it comes to Babies that they’d be willing to share? The baby book says to look for ‘online dad forums’ but as they’re going to be a future ram I’d rather trust you lot! ?
thanks in advance!

When it smells, change the nappy.

Doggo update....he's fully mended.
First time at the beach yesterday, wonderful.

Doggo update: He's on the mend. Very relieved. Thanks for your best wishes all.
Just to got to go through 2 weeks of keeping him out of mischief now!

I’m having the exact issue with my nearly 3 year old girl... we’ve been told it could be coeliac disease so have been feeding her gluten free for about 3 weeks now whilst we wait for an appointment but no change so far. Hope your little lad gets better ?

Ziggy when we got home tonight - always delighted to see us!

So I was mid poo this morning when there's a knock at the door. Normally I'd ignore it but I'm expecting some stuff from Amazon so I cut it off like a sausage machine, performed an express wipe and stumble downstairs like a ballbag, buttoning as I run.
Jehovah's bloody witnesses. 
If I was ever on the fence about God then I'm not any more. They've blown it. I'm 100% atheist now.

Please dont stop being a nob, we've all got used to it now.
