I've recently become a parent for the first time, and while it's incredibly rewarding, it's also a bit overwhelming. I was hoping to get some advice from more experienced parents here. What are some things you wish you had known when you first became a parent? Are there any tips on balancing responsibilities, managing stress, or dealing with sleep deprivation? Also, how do you navigate all the well-meaning but often conflicting advice from friends and family? Any wisdom or personal experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated!
