You've gotten some great advice on this thread. I too felt like a "babysitter" until around the 7th month....didn't help that DS is a major self-soother, independent by nature and not a whiner or needy in the least (all great things NOW but then, just felt rejecting)
Now in his 14th month I feel we are "one" I say his first nine months were like a pregnancy where we danced around each other and got used to the idea! But I acted "as if" so he would never know the difference.
Very important to talk about it....btw our bond is based on getting to know each other, kind of like friends! I'm the one that knows what he wants, needs, how to tickle him, what sounds make him laugh....that sort of thing which can take time!
