Find a balance for all aspects of your life, and recognize when to shift that balance.

The first few days of being a parent you'll focus on your newborn and the mother, as you should. But as the pressure decreases, find moments of self-care for yourself and encourage mom to do that too.

Don't lose yourself completely to being a parent, because then you won't be the best parent you could be. Find ways to still be a husband and friend. Try to keep some of your hobbies. All while still cherishing and appreciating the moments you have with your child. There will be enough time for it all if you know what to give up.
