You don't xxx Answer is if you can put smiles on their faces and love in their hearts, then you've done it right.
You can't fail at being a parent. To me failure is not an option!
It doesn't make you a bad mum to ask for help! In fact it probably makes you a better mum for not pushing yourself too far like i did! (Cue the violins...!)
xxxx
PS Congratultions! Being a mum is hard enough, but being a single mummy can be even harder! I'm 20 and Harry's 18months old. I just assume i'm a good mum! Just you wait an see. All the hard work pays off xxxx

I think everything whalemummy says is spot on and asking for help/advice is definitely a sign you care not that you don't
congratulations and enjoy. Being a mummy is the best job in the world

I think you are doing a great job. Being a mum is hard enough, especially on your own. I was married and 36 when I had my 1st daughter and I was terrified!!!! As whalemummy said, as long as you have happy babies, you're doing evrything right!!!
Enjoy your new baby.
E xx
Take advan tage whe n people offer to help as well, you need a break too.
E njoy the fact that you hav e people who want to help you

You're a good mum for asking for help and wanting the best for your daughter. Again, I agree with everything everyone else says. My son is 5 months old, he's happy and content so I assume I'm doing a good job! They soon let you know if they're not happy!! Enjoy everything xxx
