mummy feeling detach from mewborn

Hi mummies I am a ftm here. Is it normal for mummy to feel detached from newborn. When everbaby gets cranky and cry, i feel like im umable to handle baby and want to detached the baby. Like too scared to handle baby. It was all fine at thehospital but ever since we return home, with my mil's care for the babyand her ability to soothe the baby when he is crying, i cant helo but feel torn btw feeling detached, yet i want to fully take care of baby on my own after confinement ends so that i can bond with baby and form secure attachment with baby. Ifeel like if i continue with the helo of my mil, it cripoles my ability to care of the baby , bond and form attachment.

Hi mummy, I had the same problem as you, but instead of MIL, it was the confinement nanny. A few days before she left, I decided to take over the night feedings and my baby was inconsolable and I was distraught. I cried so much because I thought my baby hated me. But I persevered and tried all methods to soothe her. Now, 3 weeks later, I'm the only one who can soothe her to sleep at night :) she knows my presence already. My advice to you is to learn from your MIL and dont give up. When you feel confident enough tell your MIL that you will soothe her. Eventually your baby will be so sticky to you :) Also, I will suggest googling the 5S to soothe a baby, worked like a charm for me!
