Will baby know im the mother

I am still recovering from c section, and most of the time I’m on my bed recovering (2 weeks post) my husband will be the one handling baby. MIL would help out too. I have stopped pumping (not able to latch), and baby is on formula bottle feed. Will baby not know I’m the mother ? 😔 since I dont always hold the baby and babies would usually bond with the mother during breastfeeding I’m so scared baby wont recognise me or my smell and won’t know im the mother. Cause baby would most of the time calm down when my husband hold him, and would continue crying when i hold him. Im scared once my husband’s paternity finish and my MIL back to work, im alone with baby, i wont be able to handle or calm down the baby. And baby would continue crying for hours.

congratulations mommy u did a great job bringing this little one in the world dont feel sad or be scared your baby always knows you’re his mom from the time that your baby was developed inside your womb u and him got its innate connection to each other so dont take it so hardly take care of yourself and recover so that you can enjoy more time with your lil one…slowly but surely u and him will have a very good momma and baby bonding💪🏻😊
