Bonding
Been to the doctor today she said I’ve got post natal depression I thought I’d not get it this time round as I had it with my first, I also feel like I haven’t bonded with Arthur is there anything I can do to change this? I feel so guilty even just writing this I do love him I felt that love straight away but it’s just not bonding :/

It will come in time, just concentrate on making yourself feel better and the bond will come naturally! X

Aw so sorry you're going through this! What about skin to skin cuddles/ shared baths? Xx

What about extra skin to skin cuddles and baths together it takes a little time adjusting with new little one xx

I never felt a 'bond' with my daughter until she was about 7 months old. I had a nightmare one night and she was alone and scared and I woke up terrified for her and that was the morning I looked at her completely different, we did have a bond but I was too busy trying to feel that bond everyone talks about that I didn't realise it. Sounds stupid I know, but I had some really dark months because I didn't have what everyone else said they did. I hope you find your connection and feel better soon.
