It's really all a blur to me now... Probably pretty soon after #2's birth. I say that because I bonded with #2 super fast... Much faster than I had with #1 as a newborn. That's because all the sleep deprivation and bf'ing issues were a shock to me with the first so it was just harder to bond with her right off the bat. With #2, because I already knew what to expect, I enjoyed her and bonded with her as a newborn much faster and easier.</p> <p>Eta: and I agree with pp who said she never loved one more than the other at any given time. That's true also for me, but I will say that there are definitely times I have to focus my attn to one child a lot more than the other, but it doesn't mean I love one more or less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-and-dad-of-more-than-1#post-114489 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 17:18:24 +0000 Honeybee 114489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was instantaneous for me with both kids. :) The moment I heard my babies cry I feel completely in love with them; Ididn't have any time at all where I felt I loved one more than the other, honestly. As soon as DS was born, I loved them exactly the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-and-dad-of-more-than-1#post-114064 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:05:50 +0000 cyndistar3 114064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't given birth yet but I already love #2 just as much as #1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-and-dad-of-more-than-1#post-114032 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:58:06 +0000 chopsuey 114032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many of the moms of 2+ tell me that they love their kids equally, but that it took some time for them to love their kids equally. </p> <p>How long did it take for you? </p>
