Baby's love moms: There is no reason to event hink that your baby does not love you. Your baby's smile whenever she or he sees you and when you talk to her. When yoru baby is upset, if you pick him or her up, she will become quiet and comfortable.

Secure attachment: Can be assessed by the "strange situation" test developed years ago by dr.Bowlby. See http://www.Simplypsychology.Org/bowlby.Html. If you suffered from post-partum depression or you have a mental or physical illness that's disrupting your mother-child bond, please ask your pediatrician for referral to a child psychologist & a developmental/behavioral pediatrician at your daughter's 1-year checkup.
