Hello, our nearly 12m old LO has been with us for almost a month now, and is generally settling in really well but I'm noticing some attachment issues - namely the fixated staring/prolonged flirting with strangers, and avoiding eye contact and displays of some 'fake' emotions with me (but seems fine with dad).
Intros all went fine, but the problems started after the placement. Have already mentioned to SWs, who think attachment is good, but I'm really struggling.
Do you think this is too soon to ask for help and to keep working on building the bonds? Or would you try and get some help at this stage? Any advice very gratefully received, I think hubs thought I was losing it at first!
