I felt so detached from him, when was the unconditional love part going to kick in? My maternal instincts seemed to have disappeared.

He was no longer the centre of attention and I missed it being just me and him.
I missed being the fun mum to him, the one who wasn’t constantly pushing him aside to sort out his brother or yelling to be quiet.

But not this hard.
Every day is a battle just to get through and do the most mundane of things.
It is a constant cycle of nappies, bottles and snacks.
