Comment on Ask HN: Advice for a new father?

Comments

Always have a stack of paper towels, or wet wipes with you at all times. You'll do this until they're 5 or so.

They go through clothes at a prodigious rate, it's ok to shop 2nd hand stores. A whole new universe of places you walked right past will appear. (Or, does everyone just get everything on Amazon these days? My child is 17)

Always keep boys covered when changing them, girls are easier to deal with.

Their face will change at least 5 times in the first 2 years, lots of photos and videos are comforting to look back on later in life. I still love watching the "Peek a boo" videos I made so very long ago... they always make me smile.
