This is my third child. You'd think I'd know what I was doing by now, right? That I'd know how to feed a baby, burp a baby, hold a baby, comfort a baby. You'd think it'd be second nature to me by now.
Well it's not.
I feel like a brand new mama this time. I'm struggling to figure this baby out and I feel so unqualified. It feels like someone came under cloak of darkness and erased all my baby-raising knowledge. I find myself turning to google to figure out things that I know I've already dealt with twice before. I'm cruising parenting message boards, looking for tips and tricks that I know I've often shared with other moms myself! Where did my mama mojo go?
Please tell me I'm not the only mom who has regressed in her parenting skills. Is it a third baby thing? Have I just lost too much brain power to the draining effects of pregnancy and motherhood? Will I recover? Or is this mental leak terminal?

hun, you gonna do just fine.
that happened to me. I had my twin girls, twins m'kay?
then I had my son. It was like I didnt know how to do anything and I was surprised in every corner.
I think it is a good thing cuz then you can enjoy motherhood all over again.
So get the positive out of it and forget the rest. Enjoy the ride!!!
LMAO! I was just googling "how to burp a baby" at 3am last night and this is my 4th child, she refuses to burp

my third was my hardest ... she broke all the rules than I'd learned the first two times. The key is that they are all different and you have to approach it that way. Just relax and enjoy the adventure before you know it they are almost 4 and you can hardly remember how the time flew by!
