As a new mom, hundreds of instructions, suggestions, recommendations and do’s and don’ts will follow you like a nightmare. No matter how good or bad these pieces of unsolicited advice are, it will be all very confusing and at times, misdirecting. Fear of doing wrong things, harming the baby or not fulfilling others expectations about child care add up to the stress.
