It isn’t until our baby is seven months old that she will realise she and mummy are not actually the same person.
In the meantime, baby and I are definitely building our connection, but to her, the most secure place right now is with mummy.
So if baby settles better with mummy, that’s ok. If baby doesn’t want to be held by me, that’s normal. If I cannot meet my baby’s need, that makes perfect sense.
But it’s difficult. Of course it is. If you didn’t think you could feel the pang of rejection from someone so small, well you can, you do and you will.
