For testosterone: You need patience for a baby. You want a safe environment and are more tolerant of annoying people, to keep the 'scene' safe. With our newborn, I dont have as much energy/time to workout as I did before. Also, things are more 'cute' than before the baby lol

[@Claego]

Dang I don't want to lose the testosterone I already have..and I love to workout. But..I'm ready to be a dad

[@howidad833]

Testosterone definitely went down after baby was born. I also felt less ambitious, which actually boosted my overall happiness :).

[@blahlah1029]

Strange, I feel more ambitious because I want to provide for my baby. Also, I believe my testosterone was going down prior to baby because I used to train but had stopped due to a pretty major injury, however I noticed if my baby was put in a position where she could be harmed, even minor stuff, I felt ready to fight anyone. Js wierd how everyone's body is different

[@arizona71189]

That's just the ego My friend Keep it up

[@kyanaquintero9026]

It’s interesting that you say that. My husband felt extremely ambitious with his first child and with our second, he calmed down a lot and he described it as more of a focused ambition and mindful drive. More planned out. He enjoys staying home with us more this time around. It’s nice and at the same time I can still see how ambitious he is but also how much he takes the time to sit and relax and enjoy the moments with us .

Love the video. Definitely didn't expect the PP hair loss -- but what's even crazier is I didn't lose hair pretty much for my entire pregnancy until about 3 months post partum. Then all the hair shed! It was crazy! The human body is REMARKABLE. We just had our first baby 18 months ago, and all your points are SPOT ON and all the things we ultimately learned, but would've loved a video like this

[@candacejackson5487]

The hair shedding is due to the fact that when pregnant, hair gets locked into whatever phase it's in at the time. So hair that's currently in a growth or dormant phase doesn't cycle into a shedding phase for all those months (people normally shed 100 hairs per day). That's why pregnant women tend to have thing, long hair. It just keeps growing and not shedding! After about 3-4 months post-partum, when hormones shift, hair that was in growth or dormant phases cycles into the shedding phase.

[@Boots_293]

I’m currently 16 weeks and I usually lose ALOT of hair, but now I’m barely loosing any!

[@peterstainburn2871]

I can second the dangers of baby walkers. When I was a baby all those 30+ years ago my dad said I nearly died when I fell out of a baby walker and landed next to the fireplace. As a baby I was attracted by the light of the flames so I crawled into the flames. A few weeks in hospital and I made a full recovery but definitely not safe.

[@scottforster758]

Well ya don’t just throw a baby in a walker & look the other way. Its the most common mistake. 24/7 next to the kid no matter what they are doing. If i gotta pee, i drag her in the walker into the bathroom…. Nothing to do with the walker unless ya rely on it to parent.

And all the way the back of her head. Went to the Dr , he was fascinated, he knew about it and never actually saw one quiet this open like that.

Walking wings is really cool for teaching your kid to walk. It is a foamy harness that has handles so you have to walk with. It's really cool and they are more app to learn because it requires interaction.

[@Veedub112]

Trainer here . Keep your T levels up by doing push ups (50 reps) crunches or sit ups (50 reps) and body weight squats (50 reps) twice a day. Once in the AM and PM. Walk with your baby outside if it is not too hot. You can also pace back and forward in your home if you have the space to do so.

[@cyberrunner6529]

Nah you need to do real compound exercises to have significant effect not bodyweight exercises

[@gtrjamd]

Exercise can cause short, transient increases in testosterone. Heavier compound lifts especially. It’s not going to increase T levels and keep them up.

[@leslieannvelasco66]

I don't 100% agree with the perspective on toys. I do agree that the toys alone don't help babies get smarter. Where I have a different perspective is that there is value in letting kids learn and explore on their own and not constantly asking questions or describing what's happening. From my understanding about Montessori and Montessori based toys, the parent's job is to help the child only when needed and to let them play and explore their toys freely. The toys themselves do have an impact on how the baby learns and there's a difference between natural, non-mechanical toys vs. plastic, mechanical toys that impact how they learn. Of course this is all dependent on every child's personality, age, and stage of development.

One thing that no one told us about was simethicone gas drops. Not even any of the many hospital staff. Being first time parents and having our sweet little newborn crying in utter discomfort was absolutely disconcerting . We were scared and didn’t know what to do. Headed for the emergency room , we called the nurse line and they were like “ Oh , haven’t you tried gas drops ? We discussed that all of the doctors and prenatal professionals must take for granted that someone along the way must have transmitted that tidbit of information . Mind you we tried to research a lot of first time parenting info and videos and never came across this.

Thanks for sharing this - 100% agreement that it is not the toy, but what you do with it that counts. It can be a $300 research-based whosiwhatsit or a cardboard box.
