I have a favorite child 😞
I just had my second baby and my whole pregnancy I was told my “love would grow, you’ll love them both equally even though you can’t comprehend that yet, as soon your baby is born you’ll feel it,” etc. But my baby is 8 weeks old and I never felt that. My 2.5 year old has my heart still, it’s not even a close call. I’m so sad and frustrated when my baby is clingy and needs to feed constantly because I miss out on my toddlers day and being with him. He’s so fun and sweet, speaks full sentences, and is my buddy. I’ve never heard of anyone feeling this way. Could this be PPD? Does anyone understand? I love my baby, I do, but he just feels like a stranger to me and I don’t feel bonded or attached emotionally. It wasn’t like this with my first.
