First-time dad here, mostly looking for a reality check tbh.

 Our son is 4 months old, and for pretty much his entire life I've been the one home with him during the day. My wife's job has always been demanding, so we kind of fell into a routine where I handled most of the baby stuff during working hours.

A few weeks ago she switched jobs and started working from home.

Ever since then, it feels like every little thing has become a discussion.

Why is he crying? Has he been in the bouncer too long? Did you put him down for his nap already?

You get the idea. 

Today's disagreement was about bottles.

My routine's pretty simple, honestly. Rinse after feeding, hot soapy water, let them dry. Sometimes I throw a batch in the dishwasher when I remember.

My wife thinks every bottle should be going through the dishwasher and getting sterilized every single time. 

Maybe I'm wrong, idk.

But ngl, it's honestly kind of exhausting. Like I've been doing this every day for months and now suddenly the whole system is wrong?

 I get it, she's anxious, I'm anxious too, we're both first-time parents. But it's hard not to feel a little defensive when someone walks in after months and questions everything you've been doing.

So now I'm curious. For parents with babies around this age, what did you actually do? Were you sterilizing after every use? Dishwasher every time? Or was hot soapy water considered enough?

I’m currently interning at a company where one of my main responsibilities is SEO.

I have a question about content strategy that I’d love to get some opinions on.

Right now, our process is fairly straightforward: we use Semrush to find product-related keywords in bulk, then use the same AI-agent workflow and prompt to research and generate articles with as much E-E-A-T as possible. We publish a new blog post every day to target those keywords.

My concern is that most of our blog posts don’t include images, and in general I don’t think they’re very enjoyable to read.

At one point, I spent over an hour writing a blog post myself with a stronger structure, better flow, and improved readability.However, my manager felt that my time would be better spent improving the AI prompts and content generation workflow rather than manually writing articles.

To be fair, I haven’t really explored that route yet because I’m not sure it’s one of my strengths.

So my question is:

In SEO (and now GEO/AI search optimization), what matters more for a product company’s blog?

• Publishing a larger volume of content to capture more keyword impressions and increase the chances of being cited by AI systems?
• Or investing more in content quality so readers perceive the company and product as trustworthy and authoritative?

Or is there a practical middle ground that most successful teams are using today?

I’d really appreciate hearing how others are approaching this.

Thanks in advance!
