We are currently living with my in-laws. After my baby was born I had difficulties with breastfeeding and was fighting for every drop (the fight was lost unfortunately, formula-fed baby) so I was not around her all the time. Moreover she had tummy issues and was crying/screaming a lot, with me having my own troubles most of the soothing/holding in the first few weeks was done by my mother-in-law. I was very glad at that time for all the help (as I am now, don’t get me wrong) but I am afraid that this has influenced the bond I have with my daughter. She is currently 4 months old and most of the time she is under my care now - only leaving her with her grandmother for few minutes here and there. It is all ok but when she sees my mother-in-law she instantly smiles (which she does not do a lot for me) or when she cries she will calm with her at once. While I don’t want to take it personally as my daughter is just a small baby, it breaks my heart to see her lighten up or stop crying when she is with my mother-in-law but does not react the same for me. Has anyone had such experience or can advise me what should I do? Will it pass gradually and she will get attached to me more and recognize me as her mother?
