dad to be.....some advice with training

[zipmouth]

If you and the wife work to get the child on a schedule and keep the schedule, you'll be fine. It worked with all our kids, they slept throughout the night, every night, barring illness or a disturbance.

Just a bit of advice..When the mrs and baby arrive home don't make the mistake of tip toeing arround the baby to keep it asleep, parents seem o forget that whilst in hospital it was business as normal 24/7 and the kid still slept.

Very true. I would turn the tv up when I put my daughter down. We would always be loud she slept through a lot. Damn kid can sleep through a hurricane now lol.

Exactly! Schedules are important and let the kid fall asleep by themselves. And no tip-toeing. One of my kids could sleep while we vacuumed under his crib. Hilarious!

I trained for my first bodybuilding comp when my first child born. It made things easier because it forced me to organize my time. Everything was perfectly set so if my daughter ate I ate, and when she sleep I sleep, and other times my ex would take her so I could train or sleep a little more. U will be fine. As for getting up in the middle of the night, if ur wife works then take turns but if she doesn't work it is up to her to get up so u can sleep and work the next day. First child my ex worked, but second child with my wife now didn't so she did everything so I could focus on work and training. You will be fine bro!

Maybe you should be more concerned about how you become the best father you can be instead of how becoming a father will interfere with your training...

Are you a pro? Thought not, maybe there are more important things...

Thats kind of harsh. Dude is trying to be a good father and juggle his life around it. Why not give him some advice instead of being a dick?

Just becaue the guy wants to still hit the gym does not make him any less of a father.

You do know its posible to do more than one thing just because you have a child?

On first reading this i thought it to be a bit harsh, however after reading it a second time and thinking about it....i do see your point.

Not to sure if it would go over to well with his wife though.

What you reckon Irish-Muscle?

My boy who is 11 now and I hear him playing video games right now in the other room had colic for 5 months. I slept 3hrs a night most night for 5 months! Once the colic was done he slept all night. You will be fine!

you will adapt to the amount of sleep over time. my youngest son had to sleep under a UV lamp for 3 weeks when we brought him home and i did OK with the light it took a little getting used to but it all works out in the end. kids are great you will have so much joy from them that it doesn't seem to matter how much sleep you loose.

I got up with both of my kids almost every night when they were that age. I heard the baby just starting to wimper and wake up even before the real crying started that they were hungry. (My wife sleeps more soundly then me.) After the baby was fed, some nights I ate some rice and protein and went back to bed. It was a great experience. Lost a little sleep but it was worth it. Training wasn't affected much at all.

Same here
