Being Alone, Just You And Baby… Eeeeek!

Do you remember those first few days at home after having a baby? Were you nervous? Were you afraid of messing up? Did you worry you would do everything wrong?

I remember it all too well. I remember being afraid that I would break my son. I remember panicking and calling my mom when I wasn't sure what to do. For that matter, I remember looking at him and wondering what exactly it was that I was supposed to do with him. I mean, beyond the obvious at least.

Sure, I knew the basics – feed him and change him. That was the easy part. It was what each cry meant and how much and how often… It was wondering if he was okay and questioning whether or not I was doing what I should've been.

One mom shared her thoughts on being home alone with her baby for the first time. You can check it out on the next page. I'm sure every first-time mom can relate to this. I know I did.
