The best advice I have ever been given, is what I continue to share with parents to this day: Trust yourself!
You are born with the skills to be a great parent. You will spend 24 hours a day with your child and will know her better than anyone else (including well meaning grandparents). And, yes, you will know when something is wrong with your child. You may not know what the diagnosis is, but something inside of you will prompt you to call the doctor or seek medical care.
It’s kind of like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. She was wearing the ruby slippers the whole time but never realized they had the power to take her home. New parents also wear those ruby slippers. Trust your gut, and you will never feel like you have made a mistake.
