Attachment: Postpartum mood disorders like depression and anxiety are real. Even if parents aren’t feeling the drive to connect with baby it’s important to “fake it ‘til you make it.” Look into baby’s eyes, hold them when they cry, infant massage can be helpful as well to practice connection with direction on how to do it.
