I'm going to be a new mom here in less than 5 months and I am so excited! However, I get so nervous when thinking about minor things as far as taking care of a newborn. How did you moms deal with questions that seems minor?
Things I never thought I'd say... Until I became a mom:
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
Ok now I’m like damn I wish B.B. was still here so I can become a B.B. mom 🤣🤣
So I have been reading posts for weeks now, but couldn't think of anything to post myself. I feel like a minority on here...is anyone else in their 30s? Already have an older child? Married for 10+ years? I would love to find a mom or two with something in common. ☺

@ash621, I really appreciate this advice and will be buying. I didn't look forward to having to call someone all the time with my many questions

@lmbunch, it's been a lifesaver, it answers so many questions about feeding, sleeping, safety, teething, just everything! It's written by pediatricians who are also moms, so it's real life help!

@ash621, thank you so much! I will be getting this book for sure!

@mandaaleexo, yeah! They tell us that the mothers instinct will click but I'm like what if it doesn't click instantly!

I work with a lot of OB/GYNs and one of them gave me this book as a gift. Even though she's a Dr, she didn't know how to care for a newborn! This book was a big help, I use it a lot

I feel the same way

@mandaaleexo, I feel you 100% on this! Like I know we will be just fine but it would be amazing if my area offered some sort of caring for a newborn class!

They say back is best but a lot of newborns hate being flat on their back. So I had him on his back and inclined a little. You also figure your kid out over time

I would ask other moms. That can be good or bad lol. I also called the doctor a lot

Okay thanks! I have concerns like how do I know if baby is to hot or cold, or how do I warm up a bottle, or what are safe sleeping positions for baby lol I'm a nervous wreck with stuff like that

Google, I still call the doctor all the time. Lol. Ask questions on here or ask friends and family members. Ask questions at the hospital before you leave.
