Nick Jonas hilariously nails the ‘unsolicited advice’ dilemma every new parent endures

In a recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Nick Jonas opened up about what life is like now that his newborn daughter is home. And while things are amazing for the most part (exhaustion aside), he also talked about all the unsolicited advice he’s getting now that he’s a new dad.

And boy oh boy, can we all relate!

In January, Nick Jonas and his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, shared with the world that they welcomed their first child via surrogate. Earlier this month, they shared that their baby girl, Malti Marie, was finally home with Mom and Dad after spending more than 100 days in the neonatal intensive care unit.

“Our little girl’s home,” Jonas tells Fallon. “She’s just amazing. What a gift a baby is.”

“It really is. Is everyone giving you advice, giving you books?” Fallon asked.

Now anyone who’s ever brought a new baby home knows where this is going. To say having a newborn at home is daunting is the understatement of the year—especially when it’s your first baby. But the onslaught of well-meaning but unsolicited advice from…well, everyone, can be brutally overwhelming.

Jonas has the perfect response.

“Turns out everybody I know is a newborn care specialist,” he jokes. “All these PhDs I didn’t know they had.”

LOL. We love a good sense of humor about something that can feel a little stressful when all you’re trying to do is keep your baby alive and yourself sane. When people offer their opinions and advice, their intentions are (usually) always good! But amid the lack of sleep, overall anxiety surrounding having a newborn, and not knowing who or what to listen to—it can be A LOT.

On Mother’s Day, Nick and Priyanka shared a moving post about their little baby girl.

“On this Mother’s Day we can’t help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we’ve been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced,” the couple wrote jointly on Instagram. “After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family’s journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is.”

They thanked the entire NICU staff and all the wonderful mothers they have in their lives while sharing their relief and gratitude to have little Malti home.

“Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a bada**,” the post concluded. “Let’s get it M! Mommy and Daddy love you.”
