I just had my second baby a little over 3 weeks ago and I don’t feel connected to him like I did with my first. Almost instantly with my first (girl) I felt this like insane connection to her and I still feel that way. This time around I do not feel that way. Don’t get me wrong I love my baby boy but is there something wrong with me for not feeling connected or bonded to him like I did with my daughter? Tell me I’m not alone… I feel awful for feeling this way. 😞

You could try a bonding bath with baby boy

Idk i felt like this throughout pregnancy, my first is a boy and second is a girl shes s little over 2weeks. For me i think it was different because i was becoming a mom for the first time so that first child is literally changing your whole life the second doesn’t drastically change your life as much as the first its a different connection. Gender may play a role too and how you subconsciously feel about having a son or daughter may play a role too.

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
