The birth of a child is one of the most life-changing events. Parenthood is one big set of questions and insecurities. Your ability to recognize the needs of your son or daughter will increase daily. Soon you will understand your child's language and learn how to respond.
Not all days are sunshine and roses, however. There will be times where you are just too exhausted to do much of anything - maybe you or your baby will even be sick for a while. There may be situations that leave you clueless and exasperated, for example, if your child just can't be soothed and none of your ideas, no handed-down tips or tricks, and no amount of caring seem to work.
Trust in your power and take time for yourself and your child. Nobody is perfect.
