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.

DO NOT LET HER WORDS DISCOURAGE YOU! You’re the mother and you’re her employer! On the last week I told her I’m going to bath my baby for 3 alternate days so she stood there and guide me. Before that I just see how she do it! Somehow I managed to do it after she left! I’m a first time mum (27 years old) and I do not have helper or in laws or my own parents to help and teach me with all this! Plus I’m staying alone with husband so I handle all the chores and baby by myself (husband will help once a while) Don’t worry about it! As for now just let the nanny handle her till the last week before she leaves! Usually day time I will look after baby by myself and night time I will just wake up 2 hourly to pump! I’m sure you will be able to do it!! The mother instinct somehow will guide you through!! Let’s jiayou together!!
