Some good advice here - have you thought about doing some infant massage classes? There are lots of great activities to help form the bond with your baby, and it can take time like the others have said. Other things include skin to skin contact, baths and showers together - anything where you are close and that oxytocin can kick in.
Also, inductions and c/s can stuff around with your hormones too, it's common for this to happen as your body hasn't initiated it's own hormone ****tail (synthetic oxytocin used to induce labour doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier) - if you find it's all becoming overwhelming please do seek some counselling and look out for those PND warning signs - remembering a hormone imbalance can cause this and it's important for you to take care of yourself so you have more to give to your baby. I think we tend to ignore how we feel until it all bottoms out, its a great idea to find someone you can trust to debrief with. Good luck![]()
