Why don’t I feel bonded with my baby yet?

Bonding does not happen instantly for every parent. For some moms, the connection grows gradually through feeding, holding, comforting, talking, and simply spending time together. Depression, anxiety, exhaustion, a difficult delivery, or an overwhelming postpartum adjustment can also make bonding harder. ACOG

Not feeling an immediate movie-style connection does not tell you what kind of mother you will be.
