I really felt like I didn't have any instincts at the beginning and it took me ages to feel that I was in tune with what DS wanted. It was a bit of a shock to the system because I expected all these handy instincts to come along and that I would just "know" what he needed.

So don't be worried if you don't just know what your beloved baby wants, I found out that I just went through a little checklist, hungry? wet or dirty? bored? tired? if it was none of these I just gave him lots of love and cuddles until we both felt better.

Hopefully those lovely instincts kick in for you hon but if they don't don't feel bad, around three months I started to feel more on top of things but I still have my days when I think "what on earth will make you happy?" and I think most mums do...
