Will my bottle fed baby know I'm her mummy?

Recently I've been feeling insecure and worried. My baby has been bottle fed since day 1 as not able to DL. I've been pumping for the past 3 months and every time I pump, I leave her with the helper or my mother in law, I'm worried my baby will prefer them over me as I feel like I'm spending time away from her each time I pump... Can someone tell me if my baby knows its me? I pump 6 x a day instead of 7x now and I'm seriously thinking of giving formula instead of ebm bcos that means I can spend more time with baby... Idk.. Its hard. #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls #bantusharing #pleasehelp

Hi, Please don’t worry about it. The baby definitely will know the mother once they grow up

I can't help feeling like she doesn't like me as much as the helper or my in law, I try to be with her as much as possible but she's usually just sleeping around me
