Can your newborn be mad at you?
Can your newborn be mad at you?
Yes, it’s perfectly normal for your baby to appear angry sometimes. It can be very upsetting to see your baby distressed, but this is something most babies go through from time to time. Your baby probably isn’t feeling anger in the way adults do.
How do you know if you are bonding with your newborn?
When you look at your newborn, touch their skin, feed them, and care for them, you’re bonding. Rocking your baby to sleep or stroking their back can establish your new relationship and make them feel more comfortable. When you gaze at your newborn, they will look back at you.

Do babies ignore you?
Yes. It’s common for babies and toddlers to ignore a parent occasionally. “Your baby is going to get tired of socializing, and at some point in the day will want to be mellow and left alone – and that’s okay.” If your baby signals he’s had enough, it’s important to let him have some downtime.
Why does my baby get so angry when feeding?
Fussing at the end of a nursing session (or what seems to be the end) may mean that baby needs to burp, or is ready to finish nursing, or just wants to suck (and doesn’t want to deal with a new let-down at this point), or wants to continue nursing on the other side or with a faster flow of milk.
