new father of 5-day old boy

[mangopaco]

Hello all,

I am a new father to a five day old boy.

Little Santiago was born in a birth tub at home and is one strong little man already.

We spent loads of skin-on-skin time in the first few seconds, minutes, hours, and days of his life. He started breastfeeding within the first hour and hasn't stopped.

I signed up to Mothering at the suggestion of our midwife and will be hanging around here to get answers to the endless questions going through my newbie head.

Any and all advice is welcome.

Thanks,

Christian
