What you need is a big nice pillow and a comfortable chair... put the baby in the pillow on your knees, and hold the bottle with one hand... the other one is for the mouse 
You wife will be eternally grateful

Baby vs CivIII
Okay, here is a problem. CivIII comes out on October 16th. My first born child is due somewhere between the 15th and the 18th of October.
No, I am not asking which I should play with more - the baby will get much more attention than CivIII (I know it's hard to believe).
What I am wondering, for those that have small children. Is it possible to play Civ with a baby in your life? Just curious what my expectations should be.

The best thing about Civ is that it is turn based, so you can start a game, do what ever is neccessary, and play with the baby, continue when the baby falls to sleep. 
It is actually great combination. civ is the baest game for babysitting.

It is actiually very good to have the baby born at the same time as Civ III comes out.
Take paternity leave for a month (or as much you can afford) play with the baby, and play civ III in the meantime... could it be better?
if you were working you would not have more time for Civ III, and not to mention if you had a one and a half year old roaming around the flat until 9pm

3am Wake up, feed baby, put baby back to sleep, finish Civ 3 turn, go back to sleep
5am Wake up, feed baby, put baby back to sleep, next turn in Civ 3
7am Wake up, feed baby, resume Civ 3...
It is a good combination!! The addition of Civ 3 only adds a single step to your new routine.... hehehe
like the above scenario is gonna happen tho...

I have a seven month old daughter and I'm happy if I get any sleep at all; let alone play civ. But it's worth it, more than you can imagine.
