Not able to take care of baby after birth

Is it normal to not take care of your newborn the first week or first few weeks after giving birth ? My husband and mother in law handles the baby fully as of now. I went thru csect and not able to do much other than rest and recovering as im still in pain and i feel very useless im not able to take care of my own baby. Any mummies feel the same

Don’t have to feel that way, you just went through a major surgery and it’s important to rest as much as you can now. I regretted not resting and my body is still in pain even tho I’m 1.5 months pp. you will have all the time to take care of your baby once you recover. Gws!!
