If, after a few weeks, you find that you don't feel more attached to and comfortable with your child than you did the first day, or if you actually feel detached and resentful of her, talk to your child's paediatrician and your own doctor. Postpartum depression is real and can hamper bonding, in which case it's best to seek help as soon as possible. Early intervention can prevent your relationship with your child from deteriorating as the longer you wait, the harder it may be to win back your child's trust and affection.
