Daughter forgetting who I am.

Jessica

Hey all, I really need some advice from moms out there who may have dealt with this or has ideas on how to fix it. My daughter is 4 months and I'm a single mom, I have to work as much as I can to save money. I work mostly overnights and my daughter stays with my grandmother. I've noticed recently that my daughter doesn't smile at me or look at me like she used to. I'll talk to her like I've always done, she loves to be talked to, but she'll barely look at me and it takes everything to get her to smile. When other people do this, like my grandmother or my mother, she's all smiles, happy as can be.

It's a difficult situation. I get home around 7 am and she's still sleeping, there's no point in waking her up so my grandmother usually keeps her a few hours so I can sleep, until my daughter wakes up for the day. I'll get her from my grandmother and try to spend time with her, but most of the time we just sleep so I can make it through work. I've tried coffee and stuff, but my daughter sleeps a lot during the day still anyway. I'm not sure what to do. I'm really really upset about this, I'd really like some help and advice if anyone can give it. I'm very distraught. Please no mean comments, I really don't think I can take that right now.
