She is 4 weeks old, born via EMCS. I am breastfeeding which I thought (hoped) would help, but I just don't feel very much for her. I am caring for her and looking after her every need, but my heart isn't in it if that makes sense. She is a very fussy baby and feeds a lot during the night so I'm not getting much sleep. She cries pretty much all the time that she is awake and not feeding. I definitely feel the onset of PND and just don't want to be doing this. I feel so sad and guilty, I do love her, I just dont feel that all encompassing bond that I felt with my first, and everything I do for my newborn feels like a chore. Has anybody experienced this?

I don't think I've bonded with my baby :-(
