My baby girl doesn't like me

Iknow the title is crazy but this is how I am feeling. I am suffering so bad with worry and feeling rejected. Iknow everyone is going to think I am some over worrying crazy first time mum but this is serious and I am finding this very upsetting. I absolutely adore my little girl she is 11 months and she is the most precious thing to me and my husband. However it really feels like she isn't interested in me. She doesn't miss me when I go. She doesn't look for me when I leave the room. Even after my mum has watched her for a few hours and I come back there is no emotion from her what so ever, she would rather play with her toys or watch the telly. When I try hug her she pushes away from me and tries to get back to her toys. She will look at me when she has to like when lying down for a nappy change or a feed, and and she does smile sometimes but moans soon after for me to put her back to doing her own thing. She babbles on her own terms. She has copied my sounds before but i am talking a handful of times only. I want to feel needed by her and for her to love me back. She doesn't even put her arms up to me. She just isn't interested in me! It's like she doesn't know the difference between me or my mum or a stranger! I'm really struggling because she is my absolute life and I am craving some sort of love from her where iknow for certain she knows who I am. Everyone keeps saying your lucky she isn't clingy! But I want clingy! She is very dinky and small for her age and behind in all aspects pretty much. She doesn't crawl yet or pull herself up on anything. All she can do is sit up and roll over... she won't eat anything that isn't puree. She just seems over all so behind emotionally and physically. She has already seen a paediatrician and he has validated my concerns. She is due intervention soon to help her come along. He said I am doing everything possible that I can be doing to help her already. I am lost, I want my baby girl to like me!

She does like you but it does sound as though there's something going on and it's ok to be upset that DD doesn't behave in the way you expected.

Do you know what the Paediatrician is looking for?
