Hi all, I am not sure if this post is in the correct sub-board so please feel free to move it where it's appropriate. My post is regarding premature infants and attachment. I (along with my twin sister) were born very premature(27 or 28 weeks gestational age). Miraculously, she and I are both fine, as we have no health problems such as heart or lung problems or no neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy. Anyways, she and I were talking last night how we never had any sort of attachment to our mother. As children we never had any separation anxiety from her, we never let her come to close to us emotionally, and, she and I never really saw her as a "mother" figure, I intact told her when I was four that I liked my playmate's mommies more than she. Does anyone on this board have any answer to this or could at least point me in the correct direction? I would love to hear your responses. Thank you.

*Note*. I may add that my sister and I stayed in the NICU for a good 2 months after we were born. I believe we had jaundice or something of that sort.
