Biological

I am 21+3 & separated from my baby's father a month ago. I went back to my first marriage, father of my first boy, my baby has grown fond of his voice & easily recognizes him when he feels on my belly, he will move constantly. I'm wondering if this will be a problem later on, if he won't recognize his real
Father because he has gotten attached to another man! I meet with the biological father on weekends for counseling, but he doesn't take the time to feel my belly or talk to his son!!!Any thoughts about this ladies?

Try not to stress about it too much. It's a tough situation for sure but you ultimately know what's best for your little one. :)

Maybe my ex just hates me and takes it out on the baby by not bonding with him. Either way I love the man I'm with now & he sees my baby as his own. I'm sure he will give him father love even if his biological father won't

Your little one will attach to whoever is around the most and is loving. If the real dad doesn't show interest now, he probably won't later either. It can be difficult to watch all that as the mom but I'm glad I bonded with my grandpa and later my stepdad rather than my real father cuz my real dad is a jerk. He may not recognize his real dad but you can always teach him that when he's older and still give him a chance to bond with his dad. But again it's a two way street and if the dad isn't interested it'll just hurt your son later. So I guess just remember to show your little ones that they have good people in their life.
