Farmer Wants A Wife’s Hayley Love reveals she struggled to bond with her newborn daughter Daisy

Hayley Love has spoken candidly about her struggle to bond with her one-month-old daughter Daisy in a revealing Q&A with fans on Instagram Stories on Saturday.

The 25-year-old former Farmer Wants A Wife star said the devastating feeling first hit her five days after welcoming Daisy on December 7.  

‘I had two horrible nights sleep with Daisy thinking I was going to be the worst mum ever,’ she began.

‘I never felt that instant “love” once giving birth. I got home and felt like my whole body was rejecting her. 

‘I’d stare at her when someone else was holding her and feel as though she wasn’t mine, it was terrifying because I thought my fear of getting PP [postpartum] depression was happening.’

She said ‘the feeling disappeared after about a week and now my love for her everyday grows’.
