4. The cry it out method is not as simple as it sounds. It does not mean just leave them till they shut up. Please do some research on the topic also known as the Ferber Method if you try it. Children under 3 or 4 months cry for a reason. They aren't developed enough to play you and even if it's simply body contact they are looking for, give it them as newborns. You will have plenty of opportunity to mentally damage them after that.
5. Tell your wife that the public health nurse AKA Nipple Nazis will make you feel like a POS. They treat everyone the same as per their checklist that is geared towards helping the worst possible parents in the world. Trust your instinct is right and tell them what they want to hear so you can get the %$#* outta there as quickly as possible.
6. You will completely understand how someone is capable of shaking a baby to death. There is nothing wrong with putting the baby down and walking away to get your $&%# together.
