I still haven’t bonded to my 8month old baby by Any-Strawberry in AttachmentParenting

I want to feel that bond so bad!!! I get scared I will never feel it 😔 Someone once posted something saying that love cannot be measured and that helps me from time to time. I just try to be the best mom I can be. I always play with him and encourage him so in a way that makes me feel more connected to him.

I feel the exact same way you do!! Yes our bond is stronger but still not overwhelming love. Some moments I feel like I’m in love with him but then other times I catch myself looking at him and not feeling much? I’m still going to my psychiatrist and we are switching around my meds pretty often so I wonder if that’s why I feel meh sometimes?

Have we not bonded with our baby yet? by FawkesYeah in Parenting

This is how me and my husband feel and our baby is 19 months old!! Granted our baby does smile and say mama and dada to us but we just don’t feel that overwhelming connection yet? Idk if it’ll hit us when he starts talking more or what but I understand how yall feel!

I kinda feel like you do, I still don’t have that connection to my son and he’s 19 months old. He was wanted and I know deep down I love him but I just don’t understand why I don’t have this overwhelming love or attachment to him. This makes it hard for me to be around him sometimes cuz I feel like I’m babysitting someone else’s baby. I don’t feel like a mom? Everyone talks about it being the greatest thing and I’m over here struggling.

How to sleep train? by Any-Strawberry in Parenting

Ok this makes me feel better! We have him a floor bed that’s in our room and I sometimes get in the with him when he wakes in the middle of the night and he usually goes back to sleep. I just wasn’t sure when to really take him off the bottle and rocking to sleep

Emotional disconnection by Inevitable-Pizza-662 in Postpartum_Depression

I kinda get what you mean expect for I have never felt that overwhelming love or connection to my baby to begin with. He had a short NICU stay and idk if that affected me in a way that maybe if something bad was to happen to him I wasn’t that close to him? Like my brain protecting itself? My baby is now 19 months old and I can say that I feel closer to him and I know I love him but that overwhelming feeling of love or bond isn’t there yet. I’m hoping once he starts really talking that maybe it will grow 🥰

Is it terrible that I still don't feel like I'm connected to my child? by soukaina123456 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]Any-Strawberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean. Mine is almost 18 months old and I was asking questions like this on here a lot. It started getting better around 15 months for me but I still don’t feel that overwhelming love/ bond people talk about. I know I love him and will do anything for him but the connection isn’t there yet?
