Do babies behave better at home then in the hospital? Any experience mummies wanna share?

I'm feeling rather overwhelmed that different nurses are teaching me different methods of breastfeeding. So now I'm overthinking. I can't make him stop crying on my own. I let my husband do it and he's good at it. I can't do it by myself! It was already passed the visiting hours! I didn't want my husband to go home actually. One time, my NB cried even after feeding. No diaper change needed. Wrapped him but still not feeling secured. Asked help from the night shift nurse & she said will get him some formula and will bring him back to me but i rather he stays in the nursery. And just bring him in the morning. I feel bad sending him there but I just can't do it on my own at the moment :(

Don’t feel bad. You’re doing the best you can. Babies can only cry as that’s their only way of communicating with us. Over time, you’ll learn how to soothe your baby to sleep on your own. Nothing wrong to send baby to nursery while in hospital. I did just that cause I wanted to rest and get some sleep. But the nurses pushed my baby back to me 3hrs later to feed. On a brighter note, you get to have that special bond with baby. Get as much help you can when you’re home too so you can rest & recover.
