Also, when society talks about "mother's instinct" or other descriptions such as "love at first sight with baby" suggesting mothers should know what to do or there's a right way of how you should be feeling. These can also give unnecessary pressure to new mothers. In reality, a lot of things we do as parents comes from "on the job" learning, taking time to observe and understand each child, what works what doesn't work. Love also comes in many different forms, it's not always felt strongly from the start.
