I think DD loves everyone else the same as me...

Maybe I'm imagining things but I really don't feel like DD treats me any different than anyone else. She doesn't care who holds her, she's happy with anyone, laughs way more with MIL than me, etc. I just want her to love me as much as I love her. It makes me so sad to feel like if someone else just took her home, she wouldn't care or know the difference.

I don't know what else I can do to get her to like me more. I SAH and play with her, take her on walks, etc., all day long. Then, as soon as anyone else walks into the room she forgets I even exist. I see posts complaining about separation anxiety and I wish my DD had at least a little separation anxiety from me. What's wrong - has she just not bonded with me?

    I'm sure DD loves you! She just doesn't know  how to show it yet. Keep up the good work momma!

    I'd look at it like because you two are so bonded and connected, she's comfortable and secure so she's fine being with other people. She loves you!

    I agree with this!

    Not to mention, SAH probably has helped her know that you are always around to take care of her.  I don't work Fridays, and I've noticed that during my long weekends, Guinevere will happily go to anyone that is looking her direction.  But when I pick her up from daycare Monday afternoon, its pretty clear how high I rank to her.  I think that if you had to start leaving her with someone else all day, you'd get a stronger visual of how important you are - so be glad you don't have to test that theory ;)

    Totally agree with this! Also, I think as she gets older and can communicate better, you will see that you hold a very special place in her life.

    Liv started being okay with more than just me and DH and while she is happy with other people, when I am around I can definitely see that she prefers me over them. When I am sitting next to the person holding her and I even get up from my seat, she'd start to whine or cry looking at me leave. When I sit back down, she was okay. haha

    Thanks. I'm glad she is a happy baby with everyone but it still makes me sad. Hopefully as she gets older I will be able to feel more important to her.
