I actually felt a little oppsosite. I think i bonded well with both my bubs, both Csections, but with DS (first live born) I got to have that 100% with him no ditractions one on one time from the second i held him. With DD, they did take her away in recovery for a few minutes and when we were going back to the room, she was in a humi cot, where as with Shane he was in my arms feeding as we were wheeled to the room, and pretty much didnt leave my arms from that second on!!! With DD even at hospital she spent more time in her crib then Shane did. I did hol dher and still fed her and did co sleep, but she was also just as content to have some her time, and still is. And then there were times once we were home where she was quite happy to lay there with her dummy and go to sleep, she was easy. But it meant there wasnt that constant cuddle time... there wasnt that whole "You are my entire world" thing.. it was more, "Ok your part of my world and thats really cool"

Sorry going off topic a bit.. but i think in a way i guess i am disagreeing just a little on the birth thing. i think yes, if you have had a traumatic or distressing birth as some mums here have, then i can understand the difficulties with bonding, but then i also think that other factors play a part.
