Baby cry when carried by me

Hi mummies, I'm a first time mum but don't know why my newborn always cries when I carry her. Is it common? I feel rejected by my own baby. Only my confinement nanny and helper can sooth her. #pleasehelp #firstbaby

Same here. She was golden with my mum and my DH. She’d howl with me. And there was no significant difference in the way we held her. One of the nurses at the clinic told me babies bully moms most. I don’t know if that’s true. But it definitely got better with time!
