When Love Takes Time

<p><strong>When Love Takes Time: Understanding Guilt, Bonding, and the Early Weeks of Motherhood</strong></p><p>In this month’s episode of <em>Menucha Talks</em>, we’re joined by Sue Schraer, Menucha&#39;s very own Parent-Infant Psychotherapist, for an honest and reassuring conversation about something many mothers experience but may be afraid to talk about: finding it difficult to bond with your baby.</p><p>We often hear about the instant, overwhelming rush of love that comes with becoming a mother. But what happens when that feeling doesn’t come straight away? What if you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply finding it harder than expected to feel that connection?</p><p>Sue explores the realities of early motherhood, helping us understand that bonding can take time and that there is no “right” way to feel. We talk about the guilt that can come when reality doesn’t match expectations, and what you can do if you’re struggling to connect with your baby.</p><p>With compassion, understanding, and absolutely no judgement, this episode offers reassurance that love doesn’t always arrive all at once — sometimes, it grows gently over time.</p><p>Tune in to <em>Menucha Talks</em> for a deeply validating conversation that reminds new mothers: you are not alone, and there is no deadline for falling in love.</p>
