Father of a 1week old with ADHD here. I have considered switching to IV nutrients every time my body went into sudden emergency shutdown from an acute lack of food and/or water for the last week…
I’m also a new dad, caring for a 7 week old. I get that it’s hard, and I hear the kind of issues you’re dealing with. I hope you can care for yourself in the midst of all your kid’s needs. If you want to talk, I’m here.
Thanks mate! My wife and I always were a good team but we strengthed our bond during her pregnancy significantly, so I don’t even need to look out for myself, she’ll do that and vice versa. I’ll send her to bed/eat/shower and take over completely to afford her that break she didn’t even realize she needed and she’ll do the same for me. Without this dynamic, those last days would have been immensely draining. The way things are, they’ve been a warm and snug experience for our little family <3

I was so confused how a 1 week old had ADHD then.
Don’t forget to look after yourself. Babies are hard work.
I tried several ways to phrase this so there would be no ambiguitiy… all sounded even weirder ;)
