Nope, still hasn't happened. I adore him, but I don't feel any special mother-child bond: I don't even feel like his mother most days! Although that does get me through the sleepless nights, as I'm not thinking it will be like this for months, it's just still a one-off. Could be down to the birth - I didn't feel him come out, didn't hold him until he was over 10 minutes old, then he was taken away until he was 90 minutes old. Then when we were re-admitted to hospital he was on the nursery all night (to let me sleep so my milk production would increase) so I was left feeling very much like I was just taking care of a baby, not having had a baby of my own. There are loads of factors in why it's taking longer than expected, and quite normal (so I've been reassured).

He actually had a smiley day yesterday - he has been able to do small smiles from just under 4w, but very rarely does them, he's such a serious little mister - and that helps a lot.
