Is it normal to be obsessed with your baby?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—being completely wrapped up in your baby is very normal. It’s common to think about them constantly, want to hold them, and take approximately a million photos.

When your baby is new, they can take over your whole heart and most of your brain. Wanting to be near them, watching every tiny expression, or missing them when someone else is holding them is a familiar part of early parenthood for lots of people.

The word “obsessed” can also mean feeling so anxious or preoccupied that you can’t rest or manage everyday life. If that’s what you mean—or the feelings are upsetting—tell someone you trust or check in with your healthcare provider. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support.
