some women do admit it, any number of them have written articles how they found it difficult to bond, sometimes it's because of the harsh, hard delivery, labour,
I bonded with my son instantly. Within seconds.
With my daughter it took 4 days.
Why? Not sure, circumstances, whatever. What matters is that I did.
And the bond has lasted to this day - 30 and 28 years respectively.
Can't agree there Daisy if by bonding you are all still talking about the rush of love that excludes all else. Mothers on the whole are 100% committed to their responsibilities and will nurture their child even if they haven't experienced those feelings. We're back to what do you mean by bonding.
