My brother’s new baby got taken away and is being placed with my Friday. I’m terrified.


Hey everyone,My brother’s 6 week old baby was removed by CPS and is being placed with me on Friday. I love kids and my nephew especially, and I’m ecstatic to care for him and do the best I absolutely can for him, but I acknowledge I am very young and am scared that I won’t know how to care for or parent a newborn. I’m terrified I’m going to mess something up and I’m particularly scared of how fragile he will be.I’ve been working non-stop to prepare for him, from buying a crib to getting supplies and finding daycare, but I’m scared I won’t know how to do the basic things new parents are prepared for like holding him properly or interacting with him or being able to soothe him or know how to feed him or even changing a diaper when he’s that little.Are there any resources for the basic things parents are kind of just expected to know how to do when their baby is born? I wish I had more time to read books and things to prepare to do my best but since he will be here Friday, any quick resources would be much appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2mU0v3T
