Feeling like hes not interested in baby

Hi everyone I just had my second baby 11 days ago I had a baby girl by c section I also have a 1 year old son who was born by emergency c section

My bf is amazing and when I had my first c section I couldnt do anything and he did everything for me and our baby

Since I had our baby girl he just dosnt seem as interested in her he holds her does the odd fed and we take turns at nights but it's like he dosnt want to do it
I just feel like hes distant with me and her

We both wanted this baby she was planned but its just like his heart isnt in it
I just dunno how to feel our baby girl is a cryer and it is hard but it's only been 11 days it's like he just dosnt have the time for her or me and like hes just brushing off I had major surgery because I can do more this time and he just dosnt seem interested in me anymore
I want to bring it up but I'm sort of worried what his response will be I love him to pieces and his always been an amazing daddy and still is with our son

Anyone else's partners took awhile to adjust to new baby what would u do

All advice be great Tia

Sorry you've had no replies but yes it's a big change for the whole family, obviously the physical side you are very affected by but it can be tough on family dynamics and maybe he is also struggling.
If you have time talking might help, it could even be post natal depression believe it or not, hope you can hang in there and it sounds like you have a strong relationship to fall back on. Take care.
