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 was hard for me to be alone with a baby when husband was at work during ML. i told my parents and they took turn to accompany me while husband was at work. as i became more confident, i told them to come later or go home earlier so that i experienced alone time with baby for a while before husband was home. time passed quickly this way and i felt happier. if your parents cannot help, how about asking other friends or relatives? can also check with close neighbours.
