Still don’t feel deep connection with baby?

Question

My baby is 2 months on and when I’m away I don’t miss him like I thought I would , I mean I miss him but it isn’t overwhelming . I love him dearly but I still can’t believe that I have a kid .

Answer

I think it’s completely normal. My husband felt an instant connection with my daughter but it took me quite awhile. I knew I must love her because it made me very upset when she would cry and I didn’t know what was wrong with her but I couldn’t really feel the love or bond until later. I think our bodies go through so much and our hormones are all over the place for awhile after birth. Please give yourself a little patience and grace, you’ve created a human and are now taking care of a baby with lots of needs. It’s hard work! Your bond will deepen in time without a doubt.

Answer

Are you usually a very rational person? As in, you’re very practical and think things through in most situations? 
It sounds like you’re confident in the care you’ve left your baby in so there’s no need to worry. Good on you Mamma!

Answer

Definitely normal! Just wait until your child is older and with more personality...mine is almost 2 and I miss him all the time! When they can show that they missed you, that’s when you’ll start really missing them.

Answer

Totally normal. I’m not a very emotional person and I’m pretty sure I felt just relief to be away from my 2 month old because it was such a rare occurrence.
