My baby hates me

Hi everyone,

My 5mth old ds has recently started refusing bottles if I feed him, crying when I hold him and it honestly feels like he tolerates my company until daddy appears.

I have recently gone back to work and my partner has a month off to look after the baby. I teach early years and am having a major wobble that my baby hasn't formed an attachment with me (despite me only just leaving him to go to work). He has always been bottle fed and will take a whole bottle from his dad but when I feed him he screams. He used to sleep on me all the time but now when I hold him he doesn't settle and cries until I give him to his dad.

I know it is probably just a phase and I am overthinking things due to the mum guilt of returning to work kicking in but I would really appreciate some reassurance.

It all sounds pretty normal, if awful for you. It's no that she's not bonded with you and he definitely won't hate you.

You are right, it's just a phase Thanks
