[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes an experienced nanny might be better, just like a mom of three who knows her kids would be better at parenting then than a nanny. The fact that there is a learning curve doesn’t mean you aren’t doing a good job. Try to be less of a perfectionist . Your kid will be totally fine. [/quote] This! Find some experienced mom friends/relatives, join Facebook mom groups (selectively! Not any old crazy group!), Pace or a free neighborhood group (MOTH, Petworth New Moms, Takoma Mamas, etc.). We ALL made silly mistakes and learned by doing. Pandemic parenting is so hard, but being an inexperienced new mom without any support seems freaking impossible. You guys are doing great and should give yourself a ton of slack. What you're describing isn't failing, it's learning. We all have to learn at some point![/quote]
