i felt like this!!! i thought anytime anyone wanted to help me with anything, it was because i was doing it wrong, and they were too polite to say! i took EVERYTHING the wrong way and felt like i just wasn`t cut out for this whole mothering thing. to combat this, i made sure i did everything i could to care for her, and found that practice really does make perfect! though i was so scared to bath her because i accidentally dunked her on day, i though id seriously harmed her, then when i saw she was ok, i got paranoid she would get sick because of it. she was FINE!!! now she is the most perfect 5 year old, still healthy AND happy:) you will be fine, sometimes it takes time to find your groove, remember, its YOUR baby, no-one else`s, and you will be the one to make the decisions on how to care for baby. if you get stuck there are so many books on baby care out there, and it can be easier privately reading info, than having `helpful` suggestions made by people. just remember, when you have a baby, there is a huge adjustment , not only to your hormones, but to you whole life! of course there will be initial issues until you get into the rythme of being a mother

I agree with Jess, I put that I was a natural, but I don`t think anyone is completely natural.... there are times when I feel like I`m doing it all wrong, then I remind myself that I am new at this and I am fine. We as mothers, are all going to make mistakes and that`s ok, we are suppose to. Just relax, and enjoy your child and the learning process you and your child are going thru TOGETHER!!!

I put I`m a natural, I was just so comfortable being a new mommy... but it`s ok to feel like your doing everything wrong..it`s a big job! But I`m sure you`re doing great...everyone handles it differently, it IS a big change of life! When my daughter was born(she`s 9mo now)..I just felt great about it, I was just a natural at it...but my daughter in law who had a baby about the same time(and we`re just 1 1/2yrs apart in age), was having a harder time and would call me a couple times a day with questions and worries. She still does so on occasion. Take a breathe, you`ll do fine!
