If you're about to become a brand-new parent, or even if you're already a seasoned parent of a toddler, I'll bet you can relate to some of these sweet comics, all about your baby's first few days, months, and years.
1 Now What?
Are they actually letting me just leave with this brand-new, tiny, helpless baby? I have NO IDEA what I'm doing!
Frequently asked questions
2 Checking That Baby is Still Breathing
They're so quiet when they're sleeping, so you creep into the nursery, and watch to see their tiny chests rise and fall.
3 Feeling Yourself Constantly to See Which Side is Next?
Ah, I remember this: the constant squeeze to see which side the baby should nurse on next.
4 Carefully... Carefully...
It's amazing how even the parent with the heaviest lead foot drives so slowly when their new baby is in the car...
5 Oh No... Oh No!
This is so frightening! The soreness, the stitches... this is going to hurt! And then it's not as bad as you thought it would be.
6 Falling Asleep in the Shower
This is why you shouldn't take baths -- you could totally drown if you doze off in the tub!
7 Skipping Happy Hour to Go Spend Time with Baby
Drinks are great and all, but you know what's even better? Snugging with baby and huffing his new-baby smell.
8 Keeping Track of EVERYTHING
This mommy and daddy keep a hand-written list, but of course there are apps for that now.
9 I'm Doing It WRONG
Parenting is no place for self-doubt! You're keeping that sweet baby alive, fed, and clothed -- then you're doing it right. No worries.
10 Watching Baby Sleep
I could have watched my baby sleep for hours. And sometimes, I did. Well, half hours. But still.

It's always so much fun to meet the parents of your toddler's preschool friends. Even if you have nothing else in common, your kids are your bond.
12 Don't Disturb Baby!
That moment when the baby is finally asleep... and now you're trapped on the couch forever.

You know you're a little out of control when you've filled an entire 16gb memory card and baby's only a few days old.
14 Baby's First Real Smile
This time, you know it's not gas or just a reflex, because he giggled when he smiled. Oh my gosh.
15 This Moment
You know your sweet baby might grow into a surly teenager who's actually allergic to you and thinks you're an idiot, right?
16 Date Night?
You finally get a night to yourselves... and you spend it talking about the baby in great detail.
17 Maybe It's Time for Another One?
You've got this new-baby thing down, so maybe it's time for... another one?
Which ones of these do you remember? Are there any other moments you wish were comics?
