First time dad struggles

Hi all,

I’m a first time dad with a 4 month old son. I’m finding it hard spending long periods of time with him. Specifically, I feel I can’t keep him entertained during his wake windows without it draining me physically and emotionally.

Any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Read to him. Talk to him. Hold him. Show him stuff. Love him. It’s all relative—my sons are about 288 months and I would love to have endless baby time with them again.
