As a newish parent of a 6 month year old, one thing I've found hard is the amount of misinformation/opinion pieces online when trying to research things. The best resources I found are from the NHS [1] for things like breastfeeding/first solid foods, and Emily Oster's two books [2] which provide a fairly unbiased summary of the current state of research both before and after birth. I found prenatal classes really informative with regards to what to expect while at the hospital, but I found they didn't really prepare me for the first few days back home after the hospital. I wrote a few notes [3] on things at 1 month. As my wife was the one giving birth, I was told and read that I would essentially be useless during labour, and after the birth I couldn't do much for the baby and my job was to support it indirectly by supporting my wife. In reality the only thing you can't do that your partner can potentially do is breastfeed, and that isn't guaranteed.
