Could my 2 month old be attached to me already?

My son is 2 months (almost 3) and he is breastfed. I am a stay at home mom so he really doesnt see much of anyone else besides dad and NaNa. He will get cranky with anyone else, and he will also make this snuffling noise when anyone else holds him (i know, wierd lol). He does not do this if I hold him. He also will not take a bottle so I can not leave him with anyone for a long period of time. My daughter was pretty attached around 5 months but is it possible for my son to be attached this early?

Of course he is already attached. He loves his momma.

Of course he is attached. He learned your voice before he was born and since then he has been mostly in your care. Even at 2.5 months he knows that you will take care of him best. Its a good thing although sometimes exhausting ;)

My baby is 2 months old ad she is the exact same way. When I hold her she is happy but when someone else tries to hold her she tries to find me and when she does she cries till I grab her. Your baby is attached, it might seem early to you but your baby has known you for longer than you have known him.

It makes sense to me both of my girls are very attached to me. I didn't even get to breast feed my 7 year old for a long time and she didn't like going to the sitter at first when she was a baby. She only really got used to me leaving her somewhere when she was nearly 2.

My 9 month old is just about soley breastfed, but since I was living with my parents before I moved up to BC with my husband she was used to other people holding her, but she prefered me. Heck she didn't even like being put down for more than 10 minutes until she hit 5 months. The babysitter back in NY had to have her in a swing so she would sleep.

I still co sleep with my 9 month old when she wakes up in the middle of the night and she did take a while to get used to my husband's family. I cheated and saw your older child is 1. It takes a while for some kids to be used to other people. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

The snuffling noise sounds really cute by the way.

For sure. When my brother was born, he wasn't too keen on anyone else but Mum. My son knew who both me & his Dad were from the moment he was born. There's just some in-built instinct that tells them! Coz I had a c section, I used to breastfeed then hand him over to my partner to walk & burp. When he was 3 days old, I handed him over to Mum instead, and he just started screaming like "what the hell? this isn't our usual routine! where's my Daddy???!". She turned around so that he could see that I was still there and he calmed down straight away. Yeah, I felt pretty special:) hehe.

Absolutely. You've been his everything for the past 11, almost 12 months (don't forget about pregnancy).
He's used to the sound of your voice, your heartbeat, your smell. Babies know, at birth, who their momma is and can tell the difference between mom and *other*.
