I'm 6 days past partum with my second born and honestly my first born is so interested and loving of him. She has done much better than we expected. The one thing is didn't expect was for her to ignore me and not want to love me or receive my love. She will constantly kiss baby brother and daddy, but doesn't want hugs, kisses, or "snuggies" from mama. She wants nothing to do with me unless I'm holding the baby... I feel heart broken...

I had this experience when my 2nd born was around 5wks old. My 1st born literally acted like I didn’t exist and it went on for a couple of weeks then he started showing interest again.
I found it really difficult and started blaming other people for taking him away from me, I even felt like my baby was pushing him away from me.
Hormones and post partum is a crazy time. Try not to be in your own head too much! Try carve out some quality time even half hour a couple times a week to do something she loves, one on one quality time.
It’s all a phase ❤️
