I congratulate you for being responsible. When you say your parents left you, what do you mean? Did they pass? Or did they abandon you and your baby?
I know it's hard and it will continue to be hard. This is something that you chose to take on. Are you in school? Education is important here. Finding a good job is the key to giving your baby a good life.
How are you supporting her?
Are bf's parents helping financially?

Have you gone to Social Services? They will help you for sure.
Social Services will provide Day Care so you can continue with your education. They will also provide you with WIC. Wic is a program where you can get the baby's formula, milk for you, and cereal. They pay for this. You go once a month and they give you checks. Then you go to the market and get whatever they allow you on these checks. You will get a whole months supply of baby formula, free.

It's wonderful your baby girl is so healthy. I bet she is beautiful. Just be the best mom you can be for her. I know that 13 is very young to be a mom. But i am sure you will find what you need in your heart.

Just try your best to go to school. It's important for the both of you.
How old is dad? Does he work or go to school? A girl your age still needs her mom. I am sorry your parents left you. I wish i could be your mom for a minute, just to hug you and tell you how good you are doing.

Guest, what do you mean by me and I. You posted a question on the men section.

So I kind of got confused.

I am 14. No joke, and I don't have sex with anyone. I still live with my parents. I do my part as being a child care man.

I do take care of my cousins, and I know how to deal with crying babies, and whining children.

If you have any trouble with children. Such is your child is always saying "No" try and reason with them, and ask them why they don't want it. If they just say no, then try and ask them for something else they might want to use, or eat.

Oh, and if you want to feed baby food to your child. Try mushing up some carrots, beats, and yam.

And for desert, try strawberries, or bananas. Bananas are high in potassium, and are going to be able to help your child with pooping, and better health.

I hope this helps.
