Comments on: My First Week Being a Mother: Things I’ve Learned! http://newsinglemama.com/320/my-first-week-being-a-mother-things-ive-learned/ I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

I'm wondering when it's going to get easier to constantly get bitched at. I guess its weird going from being pregnant and coddled to kinda thrown under the bus once the baby is born. He gets all the oos and aaahhs and I get the "You're a crap mom!" lol. Stephanie - LOL hahah can't say I'm not guilty of the same. Falling asleep with the nipple hitting my baby's cheek. So funny.

It's a scary world all of a sudden, realizing that this little person is depending on you to protect them from EVERYTHING. So, don't worry. You're doing fine. And I agree with a PP newborns do STRANGE things to people. Girl, it took me until Monkey was 9 months or so to let go of all that.

This entry brought back memories of when my son was first born! I remeber middle of the night feedings and dozing off and waking up to him crying because the bottle was no longer in his mouth it was in his cheek! LOL I got annoyed with people too! Its like back off hes MY baby!! My advice to new moms is ALWAYS--Dont listen to anyones advice. Do whatever feels right to you!-- I hated everyones advice. My boyfriends moms answer to every time my son cried was that he was hungry. I wanted to say "Oh that must be it, I mean there is no other possible reason for a baby to cry unless theyre hungry! I mean I do only feed him on Tuedays and Thursdays! " But my actual response was a smile and a nod!! God I hate people!! LOL I absolutely love to sleep too.

Eventually it'll get easier to shrug off and probably won't bother you as much but then again when he gets older you won't need to worry as much to begin with. Try not to get too annoyed with your aunt over her comment. It was wrong but newborn babies do weird things to people. I think it's just something every mom hears at some point. Just wait to see the reactions of strangers at the store. I got annoyed by a lot of things too in the beginning.
