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 

Parents

  • Back when I was a new parent and exhaustion and overwhelm and concern and stress were taking their toll, I used to ask myself, "Would I rather be doing something else?" The answer was easy: "No."

    Maybe reduce your involvement in group activities like baby massage and yoga and have your partner take on those and show you the ropes when you are able. You don't need to "build a relationship" with your baby, just give him cuddles.

    Congratulations to you all!
