- Attachments may not go smoothly because of:
- Post-natal depression (PND) - some mothers are depressed after birth, but PND lasts longer and may affect a mother's ability to connect with her baby
- Emotional unavailability - may be due to parents having problems with alcohol or drug abuse, illness or generally struggling with their role
- Prematurity - if a premature baby is in an incubator, they cannot be picked up and held. This can affect the attachment process
- Disability - some parents find it harder to attach to a baby with a disability and they may struggle with their feelings. Some babies with disabilities may experience difficulty forming attachments
- Separation - separation of parents from their baby, e.g. due to illness, bereavement or the parents divorcing, can affect attachment and impact on a baby's sense of identity
- Foster care/adoption - children within the care system may experience inconsistency of caregivers which can affect attachments and their sense of identity
