OP the way I tried to think about it was, it always takes a few months to get the hang of any new job - and motherhood is no different... so be patient with yourself, accept that it will take time to feel confident that you know what you are doing! I got some very good advice, probably the best was to take the time to observe your baby, you will learn a lot that way. if you are a member of a library, go and borrow some baby care books and have a read. In a few months time you will be doing what I'm doing right now, watching my baby girl smile in her sleep while posting on BB.
GL hon!
