Second born bubble

Oh wow the newborn bubble is different this time round. I am riddled with guilt over my first not having all my attention. After a section even when he can get it I can’t do what I usually would and pick him up and cuddle him. I miss putting him to bed at night and doing his naps and I miss him even though he’s always here. I love our newest addition so much and equally feel guilty at how much she’s put down and now we seem to have hit cluster feeding with full force because she literally won’t come off the boob making it even harder to be there for the first I am a total wreck with every emotion possible flying around 😭

I’m 41 weeks with my second and I know I’ll feel this exact thing too. I think it’s completely normal. Remember, everything is temporary. Give it a few more weeks and you’ll be able to do all those things again ❤️ sending so much love. Xxx

Same here! I used to put my son to sleep cuddling and now he falls asleep on my legs while I hold my newborn 😢 But to be honest I feel like it's mostly due to the C-section than to having another child, so I'm trying to explain how I am still unwell and that is the only reason why I don't pick him up anymore. Not sure if he understands, but definitely better than letting him think it's because of his little sister

@Maria yeah the c section definitely feels like the biggest hindrance because I feel like at least I’d be able to hold them both at the same time otherwise and wouldn’t have to keep asking him to be gentle and careful climbing on me when he’s just trying to get milk 🥺

I'm exactly the same. I'm hoping once I feel a bit better after surgery that it'll be a bit easier but I feel awful right now and keep crying because I feel like I miss him so much.
