Hello Ladies,

I am the mother from Help Me Love my Baby. Mia and Gracie are four now and I am finding motherhood more enjoyable. I still have bad days – I am sure all mothers do but I tend to feel less guilt now, we are only human. Kate, when I read your post I just burst into tears. I wish i could give you a big hug, you are so very brave.

So true for so many. The ‘mums’ from the Huggies ads… do they really exist? Great post.

oh Kate, I can relate too to some of things & feelings you described, and your commenters.
Just like the word implies it takes time to develop a bond like glue -it strengthens with time.
I think you nailed it and their glad you (are) stuck with them.

A very brave and honest post. I felt that way with both my girls at times. Annie because I barely saw her for the first few months of her life, I was very sick and in hospital a lot. Heidi didn’t sleep more than 2 hours in a row and that is if I was lucky. Her first months were nightmare of sleep deprivation. But we got there and now adore each other…well I adore them and I rather hope they kind of like me a little bit :grin:

How brave and strong you are Kate, to share this post. And how brave and strong you were then too. Becoming a mother takes all different forms and every journey is unique. You love all of your children and you would do anything to protect them, that is what matters most.

Thanks for sharing Kate. It must have been hard to admit this, and brave to put it down into words to share with the world. I’m sure it is going to help a lot of people to feel normal though.

I didnt bond with one of my twins well either.She was the smaller one,always grumpy…she had reflux and was not a happy girl……

it took quite a while before I fell IN love with her.

Very well said hon……….you are brave to put this out there.
