New parents panic. It’s understandable. There is no book, leaflet, internet blog, or other parent in the world that can fully prepare you for your own parenting experience. The tiredness and exhaustion plus the plethora of hormone changes you’re experiencing will certainly make for some confused thinking too. No wonder you feel so helpless in the beginning. In fact, you might be feeling like this a lot for the first few years! The only thing you can be sure of is that every new parent feels exactly the same way.

Life is a very steep learning curve, and you need to learn alongside her. Don’t assume anything will naturally work itself out. Sometimes you need to fix the problems for her.
