No doubt man. That is absolutely terrible. It's like if they could talk all they would say is "Why Daddy, why?"

My little girl is 2 weeks old and I feel like I am torturing her everytime she gets a bath. She screams bloody murder pretty much the whole time.

Yeah, I've got an almost two week old daughter, so congrats from one daddy to another, Shardian. :cheers:
I heard babies really don't need to be bathed, at least for the first month or two. Soap doesn't really help their skin and they just need to be wiped under their arms or on their faces once in a while with a warm wet rag or sponge. Obviously, if they smell generally, they need to be bathed, but so far our girl doesn't smell at all, so we haven't pulled out the bath from under the crib. That may be because she only gets mother's milk. :dunno Just wanted to point out that you don't have to feel weird if she doesn't get a bath once a week or whatever.
Also, regarding diaper rash and changing in general, use a hairdryer to dry your babies' bottom. They love it (she sticks out her feet toward the hair dryer) and it apparently helps prevent diaper rash.
As far as falling asleep, if she's fussy :cry: , we put her in a sling and go on walks when it's nice out and car rides otherwise. Had to do two car rides and half a walk tonight, since we were both tired during the early evening and let her sleep too long.
Our baby's needs are simple, but constant, but she is amazing already even for the short periods of time that she's awake and content. :notworthy:

Congrats!

meh...kids are built to last. I have a friend who's little brother got run over by a tractor. Fell off while his dad was holding him on his lap (obviously a bad idea...but some people..you know). He was fine.
Wait till you have your 2nd and third. The first one is rough..but by the time the next few come along you'll be a seasoned veteran.
Hang in there!

When that first kid starts walking is when the nerves really start kicking in. That is when all kinds of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- can go haywire.
