Why not do a paediatric first aid course?
It may help you feel more confident.

Since my grandson was born, I have struggled with anxiety every time I visit, usually once every 2 weeks, especially when my husband & I are left with him when the parents go out during the day. I worry about doing the wrong thing, make wrong choices, his parents way of parenting etc etc etc. It takes days to get over the anxiety & I have sought counselling but no improvement. I now dread the visits. What’s wrong with me? I had no problems looking after my own children. He is now 15 months old . You would think I could relax more by now but that’s not the case. Any advice?
