Hi I'm 6 days post partum so granted hormones are wild but I'm really upset. My 17 month old dd has always been a daddy's girl, she really loves him, he gets a round of applause when he comes in from work etc lol but since I've had our new baby she is really rejecting me. I'm trying so hard to make her feel included, giving her extra attention and everything I think you're probably supposed to do but she just isn't interested in me, she just wants her daddy. When she is upset she won't come to me etc and I feel really sad about it all. I was feeling really guilty anyway as she isn't the baby anymore and this is just confirming she must feel sad too. She is still so young and I know doesn't understand properly yet what's going on, but she knows there is a change because she's been so clingy the last couple of days and literally won't let dh put her down.
She will occasionally look at the baby with this confused look and her face breaks my heart !!
The last couple of months dh has done alot of stuff like getting her ready in the mornings/taking her to bed because I've been so huge and uncomfortable and she is so strong I physically have struggled with her but she never rejected me until now.
Will it get better ?? I miss my little girl
