" Just take one day at a time. Research all you can online and talk to people who are supportive. Take a deep breath and don't try to be the "perfect" parent... there is no such thing. You will do fine! We all make mistakes once in a while, its natural and human. Just love your baby and all will work out :) "

" I had the same fears, it was after I had him and was still in the hospital. I was terrified of going home and being alone with him, thought it would be soo hard and I would do something wrong. But it all turned out fine. I think everyone has these fears.
And take it one day at a time. And some advice, dont try to take everyones advice. Everyone has something different to tell you and it doesnt always work for everyone. Try your own thing and Im sure you will be just fine! "
