Anyone else ever have a stronger bond with baby #2? I feel so guilty because I bonded with my…

I don’t think I bond more with my second. I feel like I’m doing a better job as a mother this time since I’m not learning and kind of know what I’m doing I spend more time loving her I guess instead of having no idea what I’m doing along the way. I also feel my second is more attached to me and is not as independent as her sister was. I too love both my daughters equally but differently if that makes sense?

I've always felt more connected to my youngest than my oldest. I think its because I knew I what I was doing when he came so i wasnt as nervous. Hes also a cuddle bug where his brother is not so he soaks up the attention.

Yes! I always attributed it to girls vs boys but I did get to hold him immediately and nursed him where with her I was whisked away immediately after her birth and then was on meds...it was a cluster. Love my kids equally but I definitely feel closer to my son bc of that.

Maybe its not a stronger bond. Maybe its just that the baby is a baby and you interact with a baby differently than with older children. Babies are so cute, squishy and little and they smell good and make these cute little sounds. Toddlers on the otherhand are.....well you know lol
