Will baby know im the mother

I am still recovering from c section, and most of the time I’m on my bed recovering (2 weeks post) my husband will be the one handling baby. MIL would help out too. I have stopped pumping (not able to latch), and baby is on formula bottle feed. Will baby not know I’m the mother ? 😔 since I dont always hold the baby and babies would usually bond with the mother during breastfeeding I’m so scared baby wont recognise me or my smell and won’t know im the mother. Cause baby would most of the time calm down when my husband hold him, and would continue crying when i hold him. Im scared once my husband’s paternity finish and my MIL back to work, im alone with baby, i wont be able to handle or calm down the baby. And baby would continue crying for hours.

Baby will cry, it’s his/her way of communication. And if you’re anxious, baby can sense it and feels uneasy too. It takes time and many practices to be “good” at baby but you will surely get there. It took me months to feel comfortable and confident to be home alone with my baby. I bought toys, and I let my baby watches Ms Rachel on TV when I need a break. So glad that she loves watching it 🤣 You will definitely find ways that work for you and baby. Take plenty of rest for now.
