In a job, your boss provides you with feedback (both positive and negative) on your work. With a baby, the feedback is mostly negative and indecipherable. If you need to feed her, she cries. If you need to change her, she cries. If you need to put her to sleep, she cries. If she's awake and wants attention, she cries. Once you figure out what she is crying about, she'll stop for a few minutes and then go to sleep - as if you are boring to her.
At this stage of her life, there is no praise for a job well done. And there are no specific words used to tell you what you need to do.
Oh, and instead of her paying you for your work, you pay for all of her needs.

Welcome to motherhood! The crying will eventually stop, but you will have to wait many years to get any praise for a job well done, and of course, you will continue paying for a long, long, time. It's all worth it though!
