Sure, my newborn throws up on me daily, goes through far more diapers than I thought possible, makes constant little dinosaur noises, wants to eat every hour it seems, and doesn’t let me sleep. Still the best thing ever.

Life is precious. Have kids.

(I’m terrified though. How do you raise a child in this satanic shitshow our culture has become? How will I keep her safe? At least my happily blue-pill libertarian husband seems to be shaking himself out of his complacency; father instincts are an amazing thing to behold.)

Those babies need to hear their parents' breathing and feel their heartbeat.

We bed shared with our kids. My wife also breastfed. Baby wakes in the middle of the night, mom gives boob. Everyone is back to sleep. Not one sleepless night.

It took us a few nights to figure it out with our first, and the constant hounding from everyone about how evil you must be if you'd bedshare with your infant didn't help at first. They failed to mention that almost all cases of mothers crushing their babies in their sleep involve obese mothers, drugs, alcohol, painkillers from C-section etc, or lack of breastfeeding. We were fortunate to meet a doula/midwife who helped us out immensely and taught us how to sidestep all the retarded OB and labor/deliver/postnatal bullshit lowest common denominator "advice".

Since then it's been super easy with all our kids; and no sleeplessness except if they're teething really badly.

Bingo!

Holy sheet I found it. I did a post about it a year or so ago on Voat.

Awesome post. You should repost that here. Way too many people just blindly listen to the "medical advice" with regards to their pregnancy etc. It's terrifying and it has real consequences for childrens' physical and mental health.
