Am I doing it right?

JUst don't drop your baby and everything will be fine. Kidding. I think as long as you love your baby nothing will that bad will happen. True you might commit a few mistakes but as long as your intentions are pure then you can live past that. Congratulations!!! I so love babies. They are so cute. I love making them cry. But I think parent don't like people who make their kids cry.

hello donksy, first thing,congratulations! and don't worry you are making it right as long as you show & let your baby feel how much you love him ,eventhough you are a first time mom ,well mothers instinct comes out naturally.You will know if you what you are doing is not good for your baby.It's a continuous process of learning whats good & bad for our baby.I have been in that situation before,I cannot even hold my baby because I'm scared I might hurt her but continuously,learned it on my own way,now I can say I'm an expert(LOL) since I'm teaching my 1st time cousins how to take care of their babies now. and no worries,you can always ask your mom,any friends who had babies already & pediatricians are always there,you can ask them anything about babies,they will be happy to give you advise..just one thing,enjoy every second,minute,hour & day that you have together.You will feel exhausted doing all things but believe me,it will worth it,especially when you see him smiling at you...have a great day .kisses to your little one .

They certainly don't come with an instruction manual. It can be scary. Most of the things that you need to know come natural..the others..you'll learn from doctors and other parents. I'm sure your baby is getting the best from you. Take care.

You should be asking any real mom in your neighborhood. Taking care of a child should be taken seriously. Wrong move can be fatal to a newborn. So go ask some serious help from an expert and not online.

first, congratulation and welcame to motherhood donsky14, yeah, life after birth awalys changed no matter how exhausting the past nine months of your pregnancy may have been every bit of th e pain seems worth it when you hold your baby in your arms for the first time. you are waited for this day for a long time, right, so.. why you are depressed?? that is a special feeling, a special moment, and I'am sure that it's never to be forgotten. yeah, i know, maybe, the first days after the cholbirth will be tiring and uncomfortabel. bt, however, as long as you show your love, how much you love him, and if he stays good, helathy, and happy, you must believe youself that you doing well everything for him.

I'm not a mother yet but I have been able to take care my nieces and cousins before. I think that God has given women the natural characteristic of nurturing. I, myself would say that I do take care of my nieces very well even if they are not my own. What more if I had my own right? One thing that I always remember my Mom telling us is this verse. Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it...Always depend on God, be prayerful to help you do and say the right things. God bless!

Congratulations! As a first time mother or father for my case, we all want the best for our babies especially the first born. I went through the stage of asking if what I am doing is right for my kid or not. The more you entertain this thought the more insecurities you will have and it may reach a point that you will be afraid to lift a finger thinking it will hurt your kid. Just have the right intention taking extra care since your kid is still fragile. Little bumps are acceptable since in a way this will strengthen both you and you kid. Do things as it comes naturally and never given in to your second thought. Remember you already know what will be right for your kid from sharings with friends and relatives with kids, in school or simply watching other parents do it. Just trust yourself With a caring mom like you, your kid will go a long way

Welcome to motherhood!!! You will teach your child many things but you are going to learn so very much doing it. After all the struggles are done and the house is quiet, you will realize how wonderful it is. Do your very best. You will muddle through somehow. There isn't a perfect mother in the world. That doesn't mean you can't be the best MOM. You are off to a very good start. I can see your love for him.

Congrat's on your little bundle of joy. You're already doing the best thing you can possibly do by loving him. The rest will come natural and you'll be a pro in no time at all.

It really doesn't much matter if you're doing it "right" or not. When it comes to raising children, there really isn't a right way or a wrong way, for the most part. You're going to make mistakes at some point and your children will forgive you. Just don't freak out the first time you hit their head on something. I promise it will happen and it'll scar you more than them. Chances are, it won't phase them in the least. I know my cousin had a breakdown the first time she accidentally hit her baby's head on something (not hard and completely by accident of course) and everyone else laughed at her because they'd all been there themselves. It's part of getting used to being a parent and everything. ^_^ Good luck with your baby! It really is a very rewarding job, being a parent. If you ever need advice or anything, there are plenty of websites or books that you could read to help you along when you're unsure about something. I know a lot of people that do that. :)

Worrying about if your doing it right is a sign of being a good mom as long as you don't let your fears take over. there is no one way to care for a child and how you care for this one will most likely change if you have another. As long as your baby stays healthy and happy your doing just fine.

Do what you think is best. If you don't know, ask an elder or, even better, your child's doctor. They will be able to give you the best insight and also because they have the most experience. Always keep things in the house neat and tidy and most importantly, disinfected and clean. Read and nurture to your child every single day. Always keep an eye on him, no matter what. And enjoy motherhood!!!!

I'm sure you'll do great. God bless!
