Completely normal for your husband to struggle now, and also valid for you to feel frustrated! My partner really struggled and it got him really down because he just didn’t feel the way I felt, but now they’re best friends. She’s such a daddy’s girl and their relationship is so special. We’ve just had our second baby in November and my partner feels the same again towards him, no bond! It’s super hard for them and also for us because we can’t really understand why they don’t feel how we feel!
Don’t worry , takes time . I hated my husband the first weeks after my baby was born , the postpartum hormones are no joke . Be patient ❤️❤️❤️ He’ll bond with her don’t worry, he loves her ….. sometimes it’s just hard to bond while you both are super tired and are in zombie mode as I call it
Girl I feel this! Almost 3 months post c section and really struggling with my husband, I feel like he doesn’t treasure the relationship with our daughter as I do or really bond with her which causes me to do majority of the work. 😭
It takes time for men to grow that relationship with their children, they haven't had them grow inside them for 9 months. My partner struggled too, but once she reached about 4 months and she started interacting more he got more hands on and grew some confidence. That being said he should be looking after you and helping with cooking/cleaning during this period. There's not much else they can do, babies usually just want mum at this point ❤️ My daughters dad seconds all of this btw!
