Things that made year 1 tolerable:

- Understanding your time horizon just went from weeks/months to "today" for all definitions of "today" for awhile

- Boot Camp for New Dads (https://www.bootcampfornewdads.org/)

- Night nannies (~10 weeks)

- A Doona stroller

- Mom's On Call (book) - my daughter was sleeping 630pm-7am at 3.5mos

- Silver nipple cups (cracking/chafing = bad)

- Slumber Pod (for travel)

- Nest cameras (and a travel wifi hub like GL-MT1300 that acts as a wifi<>wifi bridge)

And at least in CO, daycare waitlists are a real thing. At 6 mos prego we were told we were late to register.
