Miss the bond
I am 5 day PP and I’m struggling not being able to be 100% with my first born. I feel like a terrible mother. I used to cuddle him to sleep every nap and bed time and since my surgery I can’t. I also hate that he asks for me and I can’t pick him up :( I can’t wait to feel great again. I don’t want him to forget about our bond.
you are not a terrible mum there are other ways you can bond with your first born. blowing kisses acknowledge them when picking him up encourage him to sit next to you (and yes it is hard) but so worth it
