But I don't want my mom or MIL staying with me...surely I'll figure it out, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497221 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:28:09 +0000 mediagirl 497221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I thought I was going to feel helpless but we were fine. All she needed was to sleep, eat and get diapers changed. We could do that! We learned as we went. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497190 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 08:15:44 +0000 Weagle 497190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I think it came pretty naturally to me. I started feeling clueless around 5 months when she decided that she never wanted to sleep again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497101 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:42:30 +0000 gracecat 497101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt feel 100% clueless but looking back, I was and should have felt that way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497094 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 05:21:11 +0000 immabeetoo 497094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Strangely no, but after the sleepy phase wore off I definitely did! Still do most days, well think we've figured out what's good and he throws us for a loop the next day. Never thought I'd spend so much time thinking about a baby's sleep habits and quantities! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497076 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:25:20 +0000 anniegurumi 497076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due in May but this is actually my fear! lol I really hope we'll be ok, my in laws are coming to help so that should be wonderful for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497032 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:46:34 +0000 cyndistar3 497032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even though I was only 15 for my first I think it came to me naturally. I didn't have help with her at all so I didn't have time to second guess myself or be scared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497014 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:07:32 +0000 lovehoneybee 497014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: My mom was here for 2 weeks after he was born, and the first day DH went to work after she left I cried (it was his long day, too--12 hours!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497009 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:56:45 +0000 runsyellowlites 497009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I felt more clueless this time with P than I did with G since it had been 8 years. lol I totally forgot what it was like to have a newbie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-497006 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:52:36 +0000 lemondrop 497006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a year ago today! Yes, really I just needed confidence in myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-496337 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:47:15 +0000 stargal 496337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember I feeaked about him sleeping in his crib by himself and stripped all bumpers, mobile and his banner off his crib BC I was afraid he would knock it all down BC u know newborns are so strong....ya crazzzzy...lol....ya I slept in the rocker right next to his crib for days too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-496303 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:43:02 +0000 boiledpnut 496303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still feel clueless some days. :) I will say that I've found it much easier at home than at the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-496289 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:41:44 +0000 autumnlove 496289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both felt clueless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-496264 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:36:30 +0000 MrsStar 496264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm not to the extent that I thought I would. I spent 4 days in hospital with LO before going home so had started getting the hang of things. Dh on the other hand was freaking out! I don't think he got very much sleep that first night but I went out like a light since I had next to no sleep while in hospital. Luckily lo is a pretty easy-going baby so I didn't have to stress too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-495916 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:58:53 +0000 Rubies 495916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was terrified. But I was MORE scared when my husband had to go back to work. The first day I was alone with LO, I pretty much had a panic attack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-495895 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:56:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 495895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first day we just sort of stared at him and nearly panicked every time he cried. He wouldn't sleep unless he was being held so I ended up dozing holding him in the recliner all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-495866 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:53:42 +0000 chopsuey 495866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nervous, but knew what I was doing.<br /> Baby 2 is a lot easier for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-clueless-the-day-your-brought-lo-home#post-495784 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:46:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 495784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! We got home and it was like.... What now?!? We had so much help in the hospital, then we were on our own. I didn't know how to get him to sleep! So that first night... And those first four weeks were exhausting!</p> <p>I think I'll feel more competent with the next one! </p>
