Advice please. So I live at home with my mom with my daughter whos 10 months old and my mom doesn’t work so she’s at home with me all day every day and she helps out a lot with my daughter and always has done since she was born especially at the start as I really struggled with PPD and I’ve noticed this since the start but I just feel like my daughter either just prefers my mom or thinks my moms her mom as she always wants to go to her and now she crawls she crawls to my mom instead of me, I’ve heard that babies know who their mom is due to smell etc but I just dont believe that she thinks im her mom. How do I change this and make her know im her mom ? Im
Also worried as I go back to work in a few weeks and my mom will be looking after her while im working so this will strengthen their bond even more💔💔💔 advice please?

I think the only thing that’s going to help you is time and bonding with baby. I’m sure she knows you are mom, but babies are kinda fickle. They are only concerned with whoever is giving them the most consistent attention and care. That consistency means safety to them.
What is the responsibility split like with your mom? Is there some more structure you can add so you have more 1 on 1 time with baby?
