Since giving birth, I’ve never felt a strong bond with my baby. Many people take care of him: my mom, mother-in-law, and the helper. They’ve been very helpful and let me rest. But for some reason, now (my baby is 4 months old), I just feel like a milk machine. My only job is breastfeeding. I don’t feel a deep love for my baby, just normal. Sometimes I stress about whether I’m a bad mom. Why is my husband closer to our baby? Why are others closer to my baby? But why am I not?

How do you measure how strong a bond is? There is no universal measurement for love and everyone has their own love language. You do sound like you are feeling stressed due to breastfeeding and that is normal because breastfeeding itself is not easy. It takes a lot of determination and sacrifice. And with you doing that, how are you a bad mother? Please give yourself credit for being a milk machine. Babies have stages where they prefer to stick to particular people. It can be a short period or a long period. It is like a relay, and the baton will be passed on.
