The Stranger's guide to taking care of babies

DISCLAIMER: No babies were tortured, teased or harmed during the making of this blogpost's video. 

Babies don't cry for no reason. Since they cannot talk, their only means of communication is to cry, and since I assume they are more than happy immersing in their beautiful dreams involving milk and more milk, I have narrowed down their reasons to a simple few (barring any special unforeseen circumstances).

1. HUNGER

Look Noah, Daddy is feeding you hands-free!

2. BEING DISTURBED FROM SLEEP

Noah, Daddy is sorry for disturbing you, please go back to sleep ok?

3. SOILED/WET DIAPER CAUSING DISCOMFORT

*No pictures here because any would make this blogpost R-rated

4. GAS

Noah: Burrrp!

Daddy: Finally.........

Noah's arse: Prrrrooooooot.......

Daddy: !@#&@!$#!)@ refer to point number 3

Well of course, taking care of a baby is much more complicated than what I casually described above, and Noah's increased appetite and slight feeding woes have given us a lot of things to think about, but all in all, a baby is nothing to be afraid of. With a bit of love and care, I am sure everyone can overcome this difficult initial stage and enjoy the fruits of their labour soon.

Just remember, at least for the moment, even though Noah gets the first and the very last cry, Daddy will always find his own way to get the last laugh. MUAHAHAHAAHA.....
