Every baby is different and you should take all advice with a huge grain of salt, including the ones listed here.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Everyone pays attention to the child but you and your partner will need help too managing this new life transition. Even if you're not the birthing parent, you too have also gone through this massive change in time, mental space, and life meaning.
