New moms always need lots of advice from the little old ladies in the grocery store, right? Or at least the little old ladies seem to think so.
So instead of frustrating and unhelpful advice ("where are that baby's sockies?!?"), let's share some kind and useful advice.
My advice is that you are the best mama for your baby. You know him better than anyone else so you know what he needs. So ignore what everyone says that you "should" be doing and do what you know. Babyhood is fleeting and you really can't mess up them as long as you are doing things with love.

That is the best advice Jen. It's so easy to second guess myself.

I have four kids: two four-year-old boys, a nearly-three-year-old girl, and a 17-month-old girl. Something I have learned in the last four years jam-packed with parenting is that guilt is counterproductive. Yes, you will feel like you've screwed up sometimes, and it's good to examine things that make you feel guilt to find ways you can do them better the next time, but if you let the guilt just sit on you and bring you down because you feel like you deserve to feel crappy it will keep you from being your best self for your little guy. Do your best to examine the guilt and then let it go.
