Cheerymum, Yvonne,
Cheer up! I also feels that sometimes my baby like doesn't recognize that I'm the mother. When she cries I carry her, sometimes she'll cry like I'm murdering her - body all straight, face red, struggling like mad to get away from me. Then when my mom carries her, she stops crying immediately. I also feel being abandoned - ha! Funny right, that it's the other way round? But then when I think about it, if my mum can make her stop crying I'm ok. If not, she'll get more wind inside her and won't sleep well at night.
My mum told me to hold her close to my body, as close as possible, coz my baby wants to be 'manja'. So I'll press my face next to hers and says shhh into her ears. Or I'll press her face to my breast. Seems to be working now. But sometimes she's just being cranky - even my cushy hubby carries her she'll still cry
Motherhood is like this lor - there are ups and downs. When you're older and you look at them all grown up, you'll know it's worth all the pains. My gynae told me that our babies are our best legacy - they carry our genes
