How do mummies cope w taking care of newborn
Rather clueless after confinement nanny left. How do new moms cope? Can’t figure out why baby cries sometimes. Stressful

We didn’t have any CN. It’s just us and my mom (who hasn’t take care of any baby before even when I was a baby!).. we were all new, all clumsy, all noob! We made mistake together, panic together, learnt together, and laugh at it together! I must admit, it wasn’t all smooth and great!! All we could do when baby cry is latch/feed only!! That was the only cue we know!! Hahaha!! We only change baby’s diaper when we smell poo! Plus, I’m doing confinement, my temper was bad and it didn’t help in the situation at all.. crying baby only makes me more agitated!! But... after a month or two of trying different way to sooth a crying baby, we kinda get a hang of it and we managed our time (with the baby) better too! Of course we didn’t just miraculously know everything.. Along the way, we asked our friends/relative who are experienced, we googled for tips, we jot down all our questions and ask PD when we went for appointment. Really thankful for the supportive group we have and a very patience PD who answered all our questions and assured us that we’re doing fine!!
