Hi, My little boy is called Lewis and he was born in February, He lives with his Mum, Grandparents (hers) and big sister. Unfortunately I'm not with his Mum anymore, Things went downhill shortly after she became pregnant and despite trying to stay with her even though she made it so hard we split up just after xmas, After he was born I'd see him every day, That's now every other day and usually only for a couple of hours between feeds as his Mum is feeding him herself, I joined this site to get advice, He's my first baby and because we're not together as a family, I don't know a great deal about his habits and how he is growing up so I joined this site for help and advice. He's always a happy baby, Likes a cuddle when he arrives and never stops smiling till he leaves, Well most times anyway, Not been happy tonight as his teeth are coming and he seemed hungry too, Poor little man almost screamed the place down but I'm sure he'll be fine with a bit of milk inside him, Didn't know about his teeth till his Mum picked him up, Communication hasn't been her strong point for the last 10 or so months so that's why I'm here

Congratulations on the birth of Lewis!

Get a book called 'What to expect - the first year", and it will give you lots of good advice.

It is here:

www.amazon.co.uk/What-Expect-First-Heidi-Murkoff/dp/0761152121/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=127420 8117&sr=1-3

....keep posting here too, of course! You'll find lots of good advice.

congratulations on being a dad! I don't have good advice like the other posters but i'd say you were doing a good job so far

Thankyou, Ordered the book but thanks for the offer click, I'm sure it will go to someone else who needs it
