Scared to take care of baby alone

Just birthed a 7 day old baby. Much as I love him a lot, I am feeling SO afraid and am extremely lack of confident when my nanny leaves after 1st confinement month. Second month onwards my husband will be working mainly with long hours and I'll be left alone with baby with no help from anyone. I am scared I cannot handle baby alone, etc the crying / unable to settle him. Feeling a little depressed now. Any tips anyone?

Don't worry mama! I was at the exact situation :) you will know what to do with mama's instinct. We actually moved our baby to our room 1 week prior to the nanny leaving, to get ourselves use to the night shifting and handling of baby. So, we don't feel so lost when the confinement nanny left. Day time with the nanny guidance, I also got the nanny to teach us how to bath the baby, change diaper and you can get the nanny to share tips with you. Jiayou mama!
