Welcome! Congrats to you and your DP
I have a 10 week old and am currently hanging out on the Sleep and Infant Feeding boards. They're great at 1am, 3am, 5am and 6am when up for feeds at night!

Haha yep, dads bet seems like a good place for me 
My wife has struggled through the pregnancy and even with the baby here she feels anxious. She just needs time and patience to get used to our son.

Congratulations . There's a few Dads who post here. The site is massive and there are loads of interesting nook's and crannies! Anxiety is very normal if you're a new parent. Your wife should feel able to speak to the health visitor if she's finding it hard. They have heard it all before.

Thanks for the welcome 
. I suppose every new parent wants the best for their child, and hopefully this community will help me do right by him

What I mean is people are hardly going to give him a hard time as a new father are they? He hasn't done anything wrong. So I wouldn't expect to see any bitching on there with this post! Lots more people notice AIBU threads, so he will get more replies. I've seen friendly posts on AIBU with nothing to do with the subject, they just wanted a larger audience. N CHAT is nice yes, maybe try that first

Hello and congratulations to you both on the birth of your son
Early days, so many questions and a lot of hard work, but lovely times.
If I were you I'd wear your thick skin and join in on all the main boards.

Posts like that really need to go in Relationships
One person says post in AIBU, two people say don't, and you post in AIBU... so YABU clearly

#rookieerror haha yes, but none of my friends have children and most aren't married so I can't rely on them for help, and it would be embarrassing to bring up a topic like this with work colleagues. And family is of the opinion, suck it up and get on with it. So AIBU it is
