I've recently received the great news that I'm about to become a father. While this is an exciting time, it is also a little bit daunting. I'm turning to this community because I trust in the wisdom and diverse experiences you all can provide.

I'm looking for any recommendations on books, blogs, online resources, or other materials that could help prepare me for this new chapter of my life. I'm particularly interested in resources that touch on:

* Basic care for newborns (feeding, sleep patterns, etc.) * Understanding developmental stages and what to expect as my child grows. * Tips for supporting my partner during the pregnancy and postpartum periods. * Navigating work-life balance as a new parent in the tech industry. * Practical advice on creating a safe and stimulating environment for cognitive development. * Any resources that discuss modern and effective parenting styles. * Furthermore, if you've personally experienced lessons or tips that no book could teach, I would greatly appreciate if you could share them here as well.

I'm also aware that there is no single "correct" way to parent, and every child and situation is unique, but I'm hoping to equip myself with as much knowledge as I can to be the best dad possible.

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions, experiences, and insights!

Thank you.
