The bond between mother and child

If you're expecting a baby or have just given birth, you may be wondering how to best bond with your child.

  • The relationship that unites you to this little being that you have given birth to or that you have adopted is unique.
  • It is built over time through love, constant exchange, and regular body contact.
  • Your baby needs security, stability, and respect.
  • Be available and attentive, while freeing up time to take care of yourself.
  • The quality of your relationship with your child is crucial to their psychological and emotional development.

I’m excited to have this baby but stressed too. My mother doesn’t know about my pregnancy but I would joke around with her about it and she rejects having any type of relationship with my child. I can’t tell her I’m pregnant 😔what can I do ? #help

If you live with your mom, dont tell her yet but you will have to eventually. If not tell her, she cant be angry at you forever, thats gonna be her grandchild.

So my child’s father decided he wants to end our 6 year relationship and go back to be with his first daughters mom while I’m almost 8 months pregnant with his child. It’s very painful for me cuz I endured alot out of our relationship but I think it’s best for me and my child because he isn’t solid enough for me and my Daughter anyway and don’t want him hurting her. Would it be wrong of me to break all contact with him and erase him from her and my life in order for us to have peace and to heal?

I would def take a step back & focus on the rest of your pregnancy & your child . You can’t go back & forth with a mf . You don’t need that stress . You’re about to have a WHOLE NEW BABY ! Focus on you & your child . Everything happens for a reason & when it’s supposed to happen . I had 10+ years in with my daughter father & bc I was movin on with my life & he no longer held the control he turned his back on my children . NOW he wanna come back around . Naw mama don’t play that about her kids . You don’t get to pick & chose when you wanna be involved with these innocent children . I don’t think you’d be wrong for worrying about yourself & your baby.

Yes I agree I mean not only that that really hurts me he hasn’t done anything for my baby since I’ve gotten pregnant eg. Buying anything for her such as her need like her stroller and crib but yet he’s out buying clothes and shoes. That part really stings the most. Almost like he doesn’t even give a shit about the life about to come forth. I think I will indeed remove all contact from him because you can’t force someone to love you. But I would have been more at ease if he would have loved my baby.

This sound so wrong but I don’t wanna be in a relationship with my child’s father anymore… everything about him just piss me off. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of!

Everything is all about him.. he went to a doctors appointment with me a sat on the phone the whole time the doctor was showing me the baby.. like I would never be one of those women that takes the child away but my feelings are not the same no more!! I get sick to my stomach when he comes around!

mines do the samething but I let him know how I feel I don't hold back I tell his ass like it is if you don't wanna be here to support our babe then you ain't gotta be here honestly cause I he was doing was being a headache to you I feel bad you had to deal with that if mines did I'll tell his as to get out the room if being on your phone is more important to you he pissed me off one good time to where I told him he would not put his name on the birth certificate or either be there in the hospital room with me if he dont get his act together he straightened up real quick in a hurry I dont play with his ass period.we been married for 11 years so he knows not to play with me I pray you'll be able to share how it made you feel with him so it can open his eyes and have him to realize that you and the babe need his full attention and that's not much your asking for hun if these men only knew what us woman go through while carrying there child maybe you'll striaghten they act up quick for us woman who deserve to be treated like the queens we are

See here? This is the daughter of a mother who under feeds her child. Every time her child cries, it's because she's hungry. Her awful mother works 2 jobs(and so does the father the unexperienced man that shakes his baby🙄), and when she does doubles she doesn't have a lot of time to pump until her breasts are literally throbbing in pain. But how dare she ask the babysitter(boyfriends mom) to come by her work to get milk.. the audacity. No; we make that awful mother use her 15-30min break for eating to go drop off the milk. But it's never enough. How dare she not even put her child on formula even though it's against her beliefs. Let's not mention this awful mother also tries to talk with her boyfriends family only to feel left out especially because she's the only holistic one with a relationship with God. Awful mother.

I feel like she doesn’t like me cause she can’t control me and what I do with my child, now she can’t control her son cause I’m teaching him how to be a man. She mentions the courts a lot for no reason

I disagree with that because u have to carry ur baby for 9 months not ur husband and on top of that he may be ur husband but u should put u children first because they are out next generation. You want you child or children to live long then u and ur husband.
