Would be a good idea I was told. Erm no, think after 4 kids I know what I'm doing. In fact after one I did. Any mum worth her salt , it should come naturally to even with the first, we've survived centuries that way.

It doesn't come naturally to everyone. If you're a new mum and you've not been brought up around babies how are you supposed to know?
I am an only child, I was only 22 when I had my first baby and he was the first baby I had ever held!
I was petrified at first and was grateful for all help and advice offered to me.
