Dude, infants are easy. They just sleep. All the time.

Get a standing desk, and you can work while the kid naps in the baby carrier.

I started my first business on paternity leave.
Absolutely on infants being easy. Up until about 2 they generally just eat, sleep, you know what. When they start getting their personality and testing their limits plus throw in a sibling is when things start really shaking up.
