I really struggle with my daughter

I have 2 children my 2 year old son and my 1 year old daughter. Me and my son have always had a really strong and close bond and I really love and enjoy spending time with him. However when I was pregnant with my daughter I got perinatal depression and was completely detached from the pregnancy and then after I had her I had severe post partum depression where I would say things like I don't want her this isn't my baby she hates me etc. I used service which have helped me bond and get closer to her but it feels like we just don't have the bond that me and my son do I find it really hard to stay calm with her and feel like she doesn't like me very much I don't know what I can do to help fix our relationship.

It takes time to develop a bond with your children. I would try just playing with your daughter, something simple each day and try not to compare your bonds. Love feels different with each child, remind yourself daily that your children don’t hate you and certainly you all need each other even if it feels weird or different at times. ♥️
