New baby

NAS81473

Hello hello 

I have just had a baby everything seems geared at the minute about baby massage baby yoga skin to skin these are all things that I keep having to explain I feel comfortable with it's making it harder every time I have to explain myself regarding this and I don't know what to do what this is where my partner picks up the slack but it just feels overwhelming all of the time and heighten sensory as well 

I am struggling to know what I can do to build a relationship with him. I have the word bond I don't feel instant love etc

  • Hi there. Sorry for the delay in posting, I don't tend to venture outside of the Autistic Adults  section so missed your post.

    How are you doing?

    I had a 6 week admission to a Mother and Baby Unit post-natally - because I had post-natal depression. There is such pressure about bonding to our new babies: despite the sleep deprivation, pressure to do everything and pressure to play this new role.

    I found it incredibly difficult when my children when they were babies. But I think that that is okay and that what I did was enough. My favourite age in their younger years was when they were 3, then 7, then 11, and now when they are 17 and 23.

    You are going to be okay. Get lots of support. Message me if I can help.
