My daughter in law gave birth their first baby three weeks ago and despite only living a couple of miles away we still haven’t met him.
My DIL is struggling to breastfeed him as he just won’t latch on but takes a bottle happily, she spends the whole day expressing and I totally understand how exhausting that is but I don’t understand why we can’t just pop round for an hour for a cuddle.
I admit to feeling jealous that her mum and sister are there every day and I’m not proud of it but I do understand that she needs and wants her family around her, I just feel sad that DH and I aren’t getting the chance to bond.

Oh what a gorgeous little boy he is. I’m so pleased you’ve finally got to see him and so pleased he’s doing fine now. A very worrying time for everyone but thankfully, a very happy ending,

Oh no, how desperately frightening for all of you. His parents in particular must have been beside themselves. Thank heavens all is well now (all praise to the NHS).

I do hope your meeting with this precious boy will go ahead and you enjoy some lovely cuddles with him xx
