Rules of the New Born: From a sleep deprived Dad Baby will always cry either when you are sleeping or when you are eating. They will smile when your camera is not ready. Babies sleep 16 hours on average, needless to say those 8 hours during night time. They will cry loud when you are changing their dress or giving them bath. When you have their best clothes on, they poop. Mean time of diaper changing should be as less as possible to avoid fountains in the case of baby boys.
