LOL!
I was a pretty accomplished film photographer for many years, fought digital transition tooth and nail. Lost most of my film cameras in a hurricane and quit photography. now in my later yrs, I'm 76 trying to get into digital as a hobby. Post processing is giving me fits, combined with just getting custody of a 2 yr old has limited my time to photograph my passion, land?sea scapes. But I'm trying, I read every post about processing even though I don't understand half of them and then they contradict each other a lot

The only response I can think of is, "don't let it bother you!"
Try to find a copy of what used to be Google Picasa! It's no longer supported by Google but I would bet that you can find a down-loadable copy on-line some where. That's the only thing I use for post processing. It's basic, but gets the job done for me! People look down their noses at me, but that's OK. I just return the favor to them! And have posted some pretty nice photos here over the years, and gotten some very nice reviews!
Like you, I approached Digital photography with a long stick held in front of me. And I still have my last century cameras and lenses, just in case I live long enough to see the apocalypse. :-). It's been a long road, but I have finally come to grips with the fact that it's, for the most part, a good thing!

There is more than one way to skin a cat!
There are many more ways to post process.
Start with something easy like "PhotoShop Elements. They have a lot of info directed for beginners and even more as you get more involved.
It might be more difficult for an old timer like you. I'm only 74 but still learning!

Shoot in JPEG and start with modest editing, if desired at all. Honestly, that's how most of us started in digital.

My exact thought. People get spun up on details when it is the image and the MEMORY the photo captures. Format and equipment does not matter.
And for those great spur of the moment shots of a small child there is nothing like a cell phone. Learn to use the phone, the photo organizer on the phone and the cloud and you’re golden.
Good luck and God speed with the child. Takes lots of energy.
