I Know This Is Crass....

.....but my goodness the DoC has grown a pair of knockers over the last few months!

Isn't that colostrum?

[emmie]

well i can't speak for every woman on the planet, but those in the know say it exists, does happen, did happen to them.

[Bbbananas]

It does. It did. Not always immediately.

[emmie]

exactly

[emmie]

that was for bb - sorry crossed posts.

[emmie]

some women do admit it, any number of them have written articles how they found it difficult to bond, sometimes it's because of the harsh, hard delivery, labour,

[Bbbananas]

I bonded with my son instantly. Within seconds.
With my daughter it took 4 days.
Why? Not sure, circumstances, whatever. What matters is that I did.
And the bond has lasted to this day - 30 and 28 years respectively.

If the majority of women did not bond with their babies either immediately or a few days or weeks later the human race would soon die out.

[Prudie]

Can't agree there Daisy if by bonding you are all still talking about the rush of love that excludes all else. Mothers on the whole are 100% committed to their responsibilities and will nurture their child even if they haven't experienced those feelings. We're back to what do you mean by bonding.

I know a woman who felt very little affection for their child (for a number of reasons) but still brought it up caringly and responsibly.
