I am a new mom to a week old baby boy. I need advice on my emotions.?

i cried a lot the first few weeks too, and it is normal to feel so overwhelmed. Make sure to talk about your emotions and feelings with your husband and mom. They may not be able to relate with what you are experiencing but they can be there for you and listen. I am sure you are doing a great job. Getting to know what gets your baby to burp, stop crying, etc can take sometime. I would be surprised if many mothers actually knew with their first baby right away what to do in those situations. You are concerned, that is why you are here and that is because you are a good mommy and want what is best for your baby boy. For added help if you think it would benefit you, i would call the hospital and see if they have a child care cl you could attend. I hear that some hospitals offer them. Good luck, it will get easier.
