In no way do I feel like I've got parenting down pat - I'm sure I never will - but at that 4-6 month mark it was like she was a normal part of my life, like she's always been here. I started trusting my gut more around that time, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-did-you-no-longer-feel-like-a-new-mom#post-1560527 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:45:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1560527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I adjusted right away, maybe around 4 months? I kind of felt like I knew what was going on &amp; not having the "crazy first time mom" feeling. It was tough once her medical issues happened because I didn't know if I was overreacting, but I trusted that gut that everyone talks about (&amp; thanks goodness I did!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-did-you-no-longer-feel-like-a-new-mom#post-1560526 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:45:55 +0000 chopsuey 1560526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With every new stage of life I feel like a n00b.<br /> :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-did-you-no-longer-feel-like-a-new-mom#post-1560518 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:39:11 +0000 looch 1560518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, never?

I think around 7-8 months it started to get easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-did-you-no-longer-feel-like-a-new-mom#post-1560493 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:27:59 +0000 Cherrybee 1560493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, you're good! At 8.5 months, I still feel like a clueless, exhausted, slightly bewildered new mummy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-point-did-you-no-longer-feel-like-a-new-mom#post-1560488 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:26:53 +0000 NurseMommy 1560488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know that bewildered, hazy, "I can't believe this is my life" feeling (for good or bad)? When did it wear off for you? For me I think it was around 4 months... Or maybe closer to 6. Then I started feeling like "I've got this." </p>
