Mom of a 9 yr 7 m old girl8 years ago
Q.

hai everyone, my daughter is 8 months old. I m worried about attachment. I m the primary care giver of my baby but she cares only for others- her grandparents mainly. I and her father are only second for her. whenever she sees her grandma she jumps into her arms but will not come back to me. she will cling to her grandma. she will cry when grandma leaves the room, even if I am present in the same room. but she will not scream or cry if I am leaving her. grandma tells that baby doesn't need her mother.when will my baby understand that I am his mother?

A. Babies are little bundle of joy..If you will give live and attention to them they will hive it back to you.. the whole point is to pamper them. Children have a tendency to love grandparents more as they devote there full time to babies without any hesitation..they tell stories and have time to play..Don't loose hope as nobody can take a mothets place she is really small now n even must not be knowing that her actions hurt you. Plan for a short vacation for 2-3 days onlu u ur baby n husband.. This will give some space and try to spend more time with her. Play games, tell stories.. Breastfeed her . Try to be a part of all her daily activity by making it more interesting.. All the best

A. By baby related work Amrita meant prefer spending your time on your kid rather than doing any other household work.

A. it is going to be very tough once you join work. but keep trying. take some time that baby spends exclusively with you. be the one to take her to park. do more of expressive baby talk, sing to her, cuddle n kiss more than regular, don't be strict to her, always smile n talk with eye contact.cuddle to sleep at night.give most of your time to baby n be the one who pampers her more . let the grandparents know in subtle way to give space to parents. don't loose hope.

A. hai amritha mam, what does this baby related work mean?

Author of questionMom of a 9 yr 7 m old girl8 years ago

A. Thanku mam for the reply. may your words become true after sometime. but mam each time my baby behaves like this I am getting sad. I am afraid that in future also my baby will go for his grandparents. waiting is a very difficult thing for me mam. I m a working mom. I was on leave. and has to join from next month. then I will be more separated from my daughter mam.

A. hi, dear I understand your worries and feelings also..don't panic..what happens is we as primary care taker have to scold or be strict to baby if she doesn't eats if she doesn't sleeps or whatever, whereas other only gives her love and child at this age very well understand who only loves and who is strict so this happens.... so try to spent more time with her. pamper her more kiss her hug her give her your body warmth and try not to shout or scold before her...she will definitely understand your deep love..don't be insecure be confident after all she is your more for nine months..
