The hardest part for me was the toddler stage when they want/need a little freedom to explore their world. You don't want to be a helicopter parent, but it's easy to lose track of them because they're tiny and quick and don't understand not to run off or can't be relied on to always come back when you call for them.

I kind of had to just hover a little more than I wanted to, but still tried to not be over-protective when doing so.

Note this was mostly an issue in public play spaces. At home, the yard was fenced and if we were doing other things like shopping, he rode in the cart or held my hand.

I'm part of a totally blind couple and, as u/codeplaysleep says, the balance of freedom at the toddler stage was my first real issue also.

Nothing was really unusual at the baby stage, and even when it walked - at only 9 months - it was ok because we had a wrist-strap when out in public and it tired easily so running off was rarely on the agenda.

Our child is 11 now and off to high school soon. Keeping up with the flurry of console gaming, instant messaging and handwritten notes back-and-forth between them and their classmates is a bit of a handful sometimes. I look back and laugh at myself for worrying about teaching them colours and things, when of course the reality is that the world is suffused with them. It turned out to be far more important to teach kindness, empathy, respect for divergence without pandering to a ridiculous degree, etc.

We watch many movies and TV shows together , read books etc (I used to do the reading but have been supplanted by Kindle now), and almost every time, unless the film was a straight-up comedy or something, we pick apart the moralities, discuss motivation, dissect consequences to the characters etc. We really annoyed one of their friends who was around for a sleepover once by pausing mid-battle to plot out what would or could happen. TV in this boy's home was purely something in the background, not mind food.
We're currently working our way through Sabrina the teenage witch, which I rather enjoyed a quarter of a century ago.It's a gentle move away from some of the younger stuff whilst being entertaining, and nostalgic for me too.

If I had to pick one bit of positivity from being a blind parent, I'd say it was the vocabulary my child has. it couldn't just point and make a noise when it wanted something, so learning to express itself became important early on. Despite them not being a brilliant writer or speller, their worldly understanding, ethics, ability to perceive reasons behind others actions and hopefully grasp of consequences is quite developed for their age.

I'm VI and I have four children, but my wife can see perfectly. It worries me, honestly, if something happened to her if her family would try to go for custody of my children because of my impairment. I'm a good parent, and not really restricted on how I do things with them except for public outings, but some people see being blind as you're useless. Unfortunately, those people tend to work for the government.

It takes practice doing things. The baby will constantly be developing, so the practice turns into figuring out how I am going to do the needed task. For example, dypers were easy, it took a few mistakes before I had it on my baby, but now the challenge is trying to place a dyper on a baby that is wiggling and crawling all over the place.
I stopped being consirned when my wife called me over so that I could hold my baby on his back, while she wiped and placed the dyper on him.

I have an 11 month old who has decided she runs the house, gonna need to get bells for her to track at some point :D. It's like anything else you just have to learn how to do it in a way that works best for you, also get used to stepping/tripping on toys. Not really sure I have any specific advice however.

Well I'm still new to it but it seems the whole stepping on a Lego in the middle of the night is more severe as I occasionally end up stepping on or kicking larger things. Also when the kiddo wants to play with my shoes, it can be difficult to find them after.
