Written by:PaulJune 10, 2022

We get it. You’re tired. You have zero time. You have zero energy.

You’re a parent!

Sometimes, having kids can make even thinking a chore. As one parenting crisis after another pops up, decision fatigue can set in with even the most hardened of parents.

That’s why Simka Rose created a simple, direct checklist for any baby situation. Next time you’re too tired to even think, simply follow the checklist!

Pat or rub their back

What to Do at Baby Meal Time
