[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what about women who don't immediately bond with their babies? A lot of women feel guilt when they don't immediately feel this instinct that everyone says they are supposed to have, when it's perfectly normal. When my baby was born, I cared for her, I was thrilled she was here, but I felt like we had just met. I was fine with her going to the nursery for a while so I could rest. It took some time before we bonded. [/quote] Bonding isn't the same thing as maternal instinct. [/quote] NP. It took me a very long time (like years) to bond, but I still had a maternal instinct. Even suffering debilitating PPD, nothing was hurting that baby without going through me first.[/quote]
