Everyone says I should feel happy after having a baby, but I just feel distant and disconnected."
Delayed bonding with your baby is a common symptom of postpartum depression. It's okay to not feel the way society expects you to. Your emotions are valid, and you don’t have to go through this alone.
🧠 Solution: Here’s a simple step to help address delayed bonding:
Step 1: Acknowledge the emotion: "I feel distant and disconnected from my baby."
Step 2: Focus on small moments: "Can I try to bond with my baby in small, stress-free ways, like gently holding them or making eye contact?"
Step 3: Reach out for support: "Can I talk to someone I trust or a professional about how I’m feeling?"
