Well said! 

I find it very difficult to trust my own judgement when it comes to my son. Im unsure if it's because if I muck up I affect the person I love most, or if something happens it's easier to blame. I do know that not all parents have the instinct I am a new parent but  my partner also dosen't know his cry from others in a hospital or wake up to his crying. Books are a great resource but if your new to the parenthood and have bearly no idea the grandparents are the way to go they know you and your child and if close by can guide you much better than a book and you won't always need them for everything but they usually want to help and teach. 

You know your child the best, so yes, trust your instinct! This also works when you somehow feel that there's something wrong with your child, but doctors say everything is fine. I don't think we should distrust medical professionals, but as parents, we should always be very pro-active in our children's health and well being. Great advice!

 

I agree with you, and lots of other people who have written on here - your instincts are often likely to be closer to the mark than the feelings of someone who has only seen your child for a few minutes or written a book for the general population of people affected. Good for you for filtering out what helps and keeping other stuff in the back of your mind for trying later if necessary.
