So my son is 11 weeks and I loooove him so much but I've been so depressed lately because I'm really thinking that my son doesnt like me.. I have high anxiety normally so I wanted to talk to my doc and me put me on effexor and xanax.. He was def concerned that I'm feeling like I haven't really bonded with my son, I think the baby cann sense my fears about him being high risk for being autistic because my other son has it.. My thing is has anyone ever felt like their baby doesnt like them or had a hard time bonding with their babies?

My son it's six days old and I finally broke down today. Just typing this is bringing tears to my eyes. Lately my baby just screams. I change him regularly, feed him every two hours. And he just have these fits. My bf is on ten hour shifts and he gets home at 3pm. My son sleeps during the day so when my bf gets him he's sleep. I'm recovering from a caesarean, taking care of him, no quality time from bf, no sleep because baby is up in the middle of the night must of the time. So yes I definitely know the feeling like maybe your baby isn't bonding with you sorry for the vent

@_kaykes.. My husband works nights too so I only see him friday nights til sunday nights and then nothing all week.. the sleeping will get easier, the first couple weeks I felt like a never ending milk machine that was up all night.. AS for the bonding with your son.. I wish I knew what to say to help you.. My son seems to loooove everyone else but seems like when he hears my voice or I pick him up he fusses and screams.. its killing me to dread coming home and not feeling loved by him

@mamapalmer I went in to be induced last week wednesday, after two days I demanded a cesarean. I was discharged sunday. five days in the hospital and I can say I maybe got 10 hours of sleep. Then my bf goes back to work on monday. I'm so beyond on edge and tried. I think my baby is picking up on that.
