Hi all,new here, want some help, i m not breastfeeding my baby due to insufficent milk supply, hez 5.5 mnths now, was a pre term baby through csection, nd i wasnt able to feed him on the frst go coz of no milk, so he was fed formula by his father, breastfeed him till 2 months along with formula nd just formula after that coz of no milk and the baby strtd gettin really fussy, though he is doin fine, i often have this feeling that bonding between us 2 is not there, he is more bonded to his father, somtimes he wont take feeds from me but will from hs father, wont sleep or stop crying from me but his father will be able to manage, so now as hez growing older i really feel he wont have that kind of bonding with me and sometimes i fell unsure abt my own feelings , i cant share this wid anyone else so thought may be some of u would be able to offer some help. thanx aaaa replied. Hi Anna,
Motherhood though is the most beautiful experience in any women life it can also be the most stressful period for many. The thing is when a child comes in your life your life takes a total u turn.Everything happens as per the little ones choice, we sleep rest and feel relaxed only if the needs of our bundle of joys are met with. So at times unknowingly many of us do go through depression which is normal. You do feel a little lost because you are not able to feel happy the way you imagined you would feel after the baby. This lack of bonding that you feel is just a phase. Once you r mentally relaxed and comfortable being a mom you will automatically bond with your little one. A child can often get vibes from his caretakers and somewhere he is able to sense comfort in the arms of your husband. This doesnot mean you don' t love ur child or viceversa. Its just that unknowingly you might be showing discomfort while handling your child, so next time try to be more relaxed and smile at your baby when he is cranky and see the difference. Don' t let depression set in take support from family and friends at such time.
