Hellobee Boards

I hope it does cause my LO is almost here and I am afraid I won't know what to do. My mommy friends all say it is like driver's Ed...you can read and get so much advice but you just need behind the wheel experience!

I was never into infants either (never really had experiences with them before). So i was SCARED when my baby came out and I didn't even know how to change a diaper. But seriously, after a few times, it becomes routine. Plus motherly instincts just sort of kick in and you know what to do. If you don't, you can always call your friends/family or ask other Bees here on HB!

i was never into babies and never wanted to hold babies at all. but it really is different when it's your own.

just remember that when your baby is crying, they're most likely hungry, need to be changed, or need to be burped. their needs are pretty basic because they just sleep a lot in the beginning!

It was so natural once DS was born. I had been around kids before, but didn't spend a lot of time with babies or infants, so it was still pretty new. I knew how to change a diaper, but that was about it. I spent a lot of time wondering if I was doing things right, but actually holding and being with my son was so natural. It really was pretty easy to get into a sleep, eat, change diaper, sleep some more routine.

I had only held one newborn before my lo. I was also pretty terrified of newborns. But it does come natural with my own baby. Especially because your handling a baby 24/7 and your doing nothing else, you pick it up pretty quickly.

I felt that I had a clue as to what to do, but as to what she really needed and wanted, it took time. I was very comfortable holding LM and soothing her, but figuring out exactly what was wrong was a little harder.
