Parents: Feel like you are doing every thing wrong?

Just tell yourself you are doing a good job.I mean if you are worrying all the time about the things concerning your child than you must be doing something right.I think all moms go through this.It is when you stop worrying about them that you should be concerned.Just hang in there.

tell me about it, my teenage daughter has been driving me up the wall for the past 3 years.

you need to just relax and let your motherly instincts take over. I am a mother of 4 children and 2 step children. Are you nursing or bottle feeding? if nursing than you will be feeding him a lot more often. You are a better mother than you are giving your self credit for. God gave us the instinct on how to take care of our young so go with it, listen to your inner self and don't get caught up with feeling like you cant handle it. I know its really hard at times, but it will pass and you will do just fine.

I think bringing up children is one of those things you just learn as you go along. My sister was always worried with her first child and he ended up a lot more highly strung than the second! With the second child, she had calmed down, worked out the right way to do things, didn't worry about every little thing and there for the second child is relaxed and never even cries very often! You'll be ok, you just have to remember that you're not the only person feeling like this. If in doubt, you could look on the internet for tips but I'd look at professional websites, not ones like this where people may not know the actual correct thing to do. Your doctor will also help you too. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine!

Take it one day at a time. Every new mother thinks they are doing something wrong. Your baby seems happy, healthy and in good spirits, you are probably doing it right :) And if you DO make a mistake, you will learn from it. No one is perfect. Congratulations on your new baby.

I still find myself second guessing myself and my son is 4 now. I was just like you, constantly worried and feeling slightly inadequate. My son made it and your's will too. Never be afraid to ask for advice or help. It is better to over react then to under react.

I think every mother has to go through this phase. You are right about your feelings. But rest assured that if you care enought about ur baby, you will do everything right to the baby!
