The neat part of the Internet is having communities like this explain things I’ve been feeling my whole life, but couldn’t quite find the words to describe it.
Figuring out that I have ADHD (4 years ago at age 33) made a lot of things make sense.
This is a fascinating technology. I don’t have time to watch a 30-minute video at the moment, but I will say, at least in the state of California, fluorescent tubes are no longer being sold or made because of the Mercury used in the tubes.
My question is, with the existence of LEDs and how little power they take, why would this technology be made now? Or is this really just for an experiment?
Congrats!
To answer your main question, it sounds like you’re doing fine. Feed the kid, let them sleep. Change the diaper when it needs to be changed.
As for Mom, she’s doing amazing. Don’t let her think anything other than that. If you breastfeed, great. If you need to pump and bottle feed, great. If you need to go formula only because her nipples feel like daggers are stabbing through them, great. Everybody is different. Formula gets just as much food into them as breast milk. Do what is best for the baby and for you guys.
Around 5 to 8 months, that kid is going to start crawling and moving all over the place. As for now, laying on the floor and watching a mobile/fan/ your faces above it is all that baby needs. Read to them, sing to them, hold them while they sleep as you watch Malcolm in the Middle on a tablet. Keep your sanity, and try to figure out a solid sleep schedule.
They’ll get to math and science and whatever else eventually. But there’s no need to stress about that right now.

So funny enough, this is what I went with. Costco had it on sale and bundled it with assassin’s Creed shadows. So far I’m happy with my choice!
To be fair, I just replaced my Chromebook OS with mint…
I use Qobuz! It works well most the time. And it has a huge library. Some things are not as polished as some of the bigger companies. And there’s a lot of Initial setup to get it working…
That said, I would say it’s a great option. I do wish it had better continuous play options, as sometimes I listen to a playlist, and then it just stops. But that may be part of the learning curve. I’m not really a big “playlists” guy… I’d like to start a radio and have it find similar artists (similar to Pandora 12 years ago) But that doesn’t really seem to be the way companies are going anymore.
I have several Google mini devices (I know, I know. I’m working on it, but that’s a whole other process) and they don’t really seem to get along with qobuz all the time.
Overall, I like it, but it still needs work.
