Just wondering as I haven't seen this discussed on here!
I'm nearly 12 weeks with DC1 and all my experience with small babies is in my distant past now (younger siblings, babysitting). I'm fairly confident around children once they reach about 9 months but when it comes to small babies I feel totally clueless about things like how to hold them, feed them, change and swaddle them correctly and feel quite awkward when I'm put in charge of one.
Just wondering how other first timers feel around other people's babies, or if those of you who've already done it can offer any reassurance / stories about how you felt before you were experts?!
