New baby

Don't worry dads. Babies, in the first couple of months get some congestion. You will have your instincts, but after my first kid, whom I slept next to in the hospital because I knew he would stop breathing, the other kids get much easier.

Heating milk for instance:
For the first kid we purchased the bottle warmer. Takes about 2-4 minutes to boil a small amount of water which heats the bottle. They don't suggest you microwave the milk because it can make HOT pockets. For kids 2 & 3 I used the microwave. 18 seconds to a bottle with no lid and then some shaking to get ride of "hot spots" if they were ever any gets me done and back to bed faster.
