It's incredibly tough to feel disconnected from your baby, and then be hit with guilt because you just can't seem to make that connection. This is a very common, yet often unspoken, struggle for many new parents. It doesn't mean you love your baby any less; it simply means you're human, navigating immense exhaustion, hormonal shifts, and the overwhelming demands that can leave you feeling numb or depleted. This feeling can stem from sleep deprivation or unmet expectations of motherhood. Acknowledging that this happens, and that it's not your fault, is the first step.
