Hi mummies, I feel like my baby is detached from me. Everytime I want to latch him he will cry and somehow prefers dad than the mom. How do I gain the closeness back? It’s very hard that I find when the dad goes to work he will start the fuss but when dads around he won’t fuss as much. Slowly feeling depressed abt this. Help a mummy out! 😭#advicepls #1stimemom #firstbaby

Hey mama, Hugs!!! You are not alone and I’m sure somewhere out there, there’s a mama experiencing the exact same thing. Give yourself credit for still latching baby and trying to provide him with breastmilk :) May I ask if daddy does something different? Also how do you latch? Have you tried skin to skin?

Hello mummy! Thank you 😭 I did skin to skin prior labour. Do you mean I have to do it again now? Sorry still a new mummy, still learning and adapting 😭. His daddy tends to hold him every now and then whenever he’s home but I can’t afford to do that since I’m still recovering and have other things to do at home. He was ok latching when abt 2-3 weeks aft birth only that I increased his FM intake bcoz he had jaundice and was admitted. From then I realised there was a change in baby. I want to latch him with no fuss but I get upset when he starts unlatching and latching and crying. It’s so painful to have that sight 😭😭😭
