Feel Like a Novice?
Professionals are available to answer your questions. Please call them! But when it comes to YOUR baby, your instinct matters! Don't feel like you need to have medical knowledge to know when something is wrong. Listen to your gut.
Listen to that inner voice that says, "Ask for help."
Listen to your inner knowing when things are right for you and your baby.
So many want to give you advice, and some of that is awesome (they have been there!). But some was right for their baby, but not so much for yours.
You get to make the call.
That doesn't mean don't reach out--there are awesome people who can help you! But in this time of self-doubt (and guilt and fear) guiding everything we seem to do, trust yourself and your instincts with your child. You were chosen for this baby, and this baby was chosen for you.
