Not feeling connected to baby

You could try a bonding bath with baby boy

Don’t feel guilty. I felt that way too. I two gave birth little like two weeks ago. To my daughter. My first born is a boy. I felt a little bit like that too. But I think it has something to do with a little bit different situations and going through hormone changes, but don’t worry in a little bit little. you’re learned to bundle, or been more with him

I felt this way with my first don’t worry. Give them lots of kisses and keep breastfeeding your brain will make the connections !

This can be very normal! You can still build a strong connection later on. I do think second time motherhood is VASTLY DIFFERENT than the first time so give yourself some grace.

I’m a first time mom so I wouldn’t know the difference of feeling more connected to the other, but I do know how you feel about not feeling connected to baby yet. I actually didn’t cry when I gave birth and I’m a very emotional person, I thought I was going to be water works and I did not shed one tear. It took me a while to feel connected to my son, I would look at him and I didn’t feel anything. I couldn’t believe I was a mom and I definitely had the baby blues, but now at 3 weeks I’m obsessed with him and definitely feel my bond with him growing. So just give yourself some time and grace, your body and mind are going through a lot. It might still be in shock or denial, but I don’t doubt that you’ll soon be in love with your baby boy ❤️

I’m wondering, & this may not have anything to do with it, but did you have a medicated birth?
Asking because with my first baby I was medicated and I felt like that was the reason why I didn’t feel very connected.
For my second pregnancy, I had a natural birth & I instantly felt a connection with him. I’m thinking the epidural made me numb to more than just the physical pain.
