Feeling down

My baby is 17 days old and in abt 2 weeks time my nanny will be leaving and I will be taking care of my own baby. I don't even know the basics of carrying my baby and just learning now. It doesn't help that my nanny always say if I do this to my baby I will break his arm etc. (She showing me) Ask her to show me how she shower baby she says 我学不到的。I don't have in laws or parents to help too. My husband is helping to take care of baby too but when he goes to work I am all alone. I want to be confident to take care of my baby but it is demoralising. Also baby is now more attached to nanny. When I hear my baby cries my heart feels frustrated.

It's Okay. What u need to do now is rest, eat, sleep. When nanny left, automatically you will be able to take care your baby, it's nature. Not to worry so much now.

Ahh it won’t just happen automatically but so have confidence that you can learn. Ask to do more and have your nanny do less with the baby, more house chores. It is important to rest but do ensure you feel confident before she leaves or else you put yourself at risk for postpartum depression. Seek help from mommy support groups! I also was alone by myself with the baby after his full moon. It was really hard but you get the routine and find ways to soothe your little one. Believe in yourself, you can do this!!
