Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Has anyone else had problems with family members bonding with the new baby because of them wearing casts or braces? I'm a little frustrated because I've really noticed lately that the grandparents and my husband don't really seem to be bonding with (2 1/2 months old). My mother-in-law made the comment over the weekend that she was just getting used to his casts and now will have to adjust to the shoes and brace issue. It's really huring my feelings and I feel sad to think that he's not getting the love and attention that he deserves because he's not easy to cuddle. It doesn't stop me of course but I'm concerned what long term effects it's going to have if I'm his sole comforter. I've half way excused his dad because he has PTSD from his " Iraqi experience " and subsequent medications he's been on make him withdrawn but I'm hurting in my heart because of it. My son deserves the best. Has anyone had similar problems with bonding because of the clubfeet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
