Now the baby have come... I feel all the time whether my baby is alright or not. Am I doing something wrong? Should I sleep in night or be watchful to my baby? I am always worried for my baby as I and my husband only taking care of. No elder is there to look after.. as my mother in law cannot be with us for some reason and my mother lives abroad. These thoughts haunts me all day but increase in night. What should I do..
