and is the first one i graduated high school with to do so. How do I congratulate him? Do I buy a present, or just use a few kind words? What is the proper way to handle this?

Congratulate him. Buy the baby a stuffed animal and hand it to him.. ( it isn't necessary to go through the trouble of wrapping it - we all understand it is too much trouble for a guy to go wrap it... )
Or, buy a card and put a gift certifiate in it.
Or,
congratulate them and tell them you want to celebrate by taking them out to eat!
( anything large or small is fine,, as long as you acknowledge the fact that they ahd a baby)

Sure you can buy a present. Most people register at Target or Babies R Us for things they need or want for their baby. Since you (I'm assuming) most likely don't know a lot about babies, it may be easier for you to get them a gift card and stick it inside a congratulations card-that way you let him know you're glad for him and you don't have to boggle your mind in the baby section. (It will also win you points with his wife, in case she has any cute friends).

Aww that is so awesome! Well when my friends have a baby it's so nice to buy something nice for the baby or something that they may need for the baby and a card is always nice.
Whatever you plan to do for your friend and his family I'm sure that he will really appreciate it.
Cheers!

Buy a present, but only if you can afford it. If you get clothing, don't buy 0-3 months, get something older. like between 3-18 months.

in case you have the mummy's permission then there is not any clarification why you're able to desire to not nurse the child. in spite of each and every thing you're doing some thing sturdy for this infant by giving it breast milk. yet i could purely do it whether that's ok w/your pal and if this is a few thing that she needs. only undergo in suggestions each and every ounce of breastmilk which you're able to be able to offer this infant is one much less ounce of formula that she has to take ( not that I definitely have something againist mom's who go with to formula feed)....Your physique is probable reacting this form on the grounds which you have a infant of your individual and the babies cries and strikes like searching to your nippes are cue's to your physique that it desires to launch milk for the child. only be certain you communicate to your pal and if it is totally nicely....decide for it!! On a 2d notice...i'm specific you will get a great number of ignorant and infantile solutions in this question...only ignore approximately them...for human beings to assert that it is not precise so which you may nurse slightly one only on the grounds which you probably did not supply delivery to it is going to not be very worrying/nurturing individual. the youngster continues to be an infant who desires the suited for her even whether that's somebody else who provides it to her. If it develop into this type of nasty element like somebody above me pronounced then i assume it is nasty for a mom to pump for weeks before an observed infant arrives only so she would be able to breastfeed her observed infant, or if it develop into so incorrect or so gross why are there places which you may purchase breastmilk to your infant ( whether fairly costly ), and why could hospitals take donations of breastmilk from sparkling mothers to help the toddlers in NICU on occassion?? only communicate to your pal and don't hear to three of the sensible *** and immature responses at right here which you will recieve...

Deffanitly buy him a present because it will make it look like you care. Also give a few kind words and make sure you make him feel comfortable.
(Good Luck)

Just be a friend, Congradulate him the normal way and if he needs help just be there. Sometimes just having someone listen to your prediciment is enough
