After the baby, things cooled between us; how do we get close again?

It's far more common than you'd think for couples to feel distance after birth. This doesn't mean something is wrong; it's a natural response to a major life change.
The quantity of time together matters less than its quality. Even 5–10 minutes a day with phones down, turning toward each other, talking about something other than the baby, asking "how are you?"—this makes a huge difference.
Small physical touch—hugging, holding hands, leaning on each other—builds intimacy without sex. Remember: emotional connection comes first; sex follows.
If there's deep exhaustion underneath, everything feels colder. Being patient with each other is the best medicine. Over time, you'll find each other again.
