Ignore advice and trust your gut (and your wife's gut) on most things. Most of the parenting decisions I regretted were the ones where other people or books told me I "should" do something, but where my gut said otherwise. Knowing when to trust your gut is key, but my general rule is as long as I'm not acting out of urgency or stress, then I almost always trust my gut.

To add on, parental (and oftentimes maternal, specifically) instinct knows things much before they are obvious. Parents often know a child is sick from their behaviour much before a doctor will admit the same. Stand up for your and your baby’s health, and seek second and third opinions instead of gaslighting yourself by going “oh I guess the baby always cried this way at night, I suppose I misremembered”.
