Get physically active. You would need a LOT of energy to be around your son. I wish I was fitter when I became a father. That would have really helped.

Once you get more energy, things will fall into place. So keep that as your first priority.

It gets progressively more physically demanding, Much more if the baby has health or other issues.

I used to get heavy migraine attacks, I could just shut myself in a room go to sleep and recuperate. Now I pop couple or even three ibuprofen to get by.

This advice is almost always good regardless of circumstance.

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, and being fit enough to care for yourself and others as long as you can, are life-changing decisions for the better.
