Is it normal to love your child so much?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—it’s completely normal to feel an enormous amount of love for your child. For many parents, that love can feel bigger and more intense than they expected.

Absolutely. Loving your child fiercely, feeling amazed by them, or missing them when they’re away is a very human part of being a parent. Sometimes it can even feel a little overwhelming—your heart apparently did not get the memo about moderation.

Parents experience that love in different ways, and it can shift with stress, exhaustion, and the stage your child is in. But there’s nothing strange about feeling deeply attached to your child.
