Confession time. Raise your hand if you didn’t fall in love with your baby the instant you met them. Would anyone be brave enough to admit that it took time? Would anyone be bold enough to say that you don’t like your baby all the time? Worst parent ever? NO! You are normal if you don’t fall instantly in love with your baby. You are still a good parent if despite knowing that a baby never maliciously asks things of us, you sometimes resent the amount of sacrifice you have to make. Those feelings are real, valid, and normal.
When You Don’t Like Your Baby


*While the feeling that you don’t like your baby all the time is normal, if you feel like you are struggling with depression, anxiety, or are having thoughts of harming yourself or baby: seek help. Talk to your doctor or someone who can connect you with the appropriate resources.
