There is supposed to be an instant connection between a mother and her child. It’s something we can always count on, no matter what.
However, it does not always happen this way, for various reasons.
And every time this connection does not seem to exist, it causes a lot of worries. This is the reason why zoo employees were worried about a mother panda, Min-Min, after she gave birth.

As a rule, the baby stays with the mother right after birth, but in her case, the zookeepers were concerned about the baby and had to conduct tests to check his well-being.
They were aware that this meant that the mother would not be able to bond with the baby, but had to take the risk.
Once they made sure the baby was okay, they put the baby back in the enclosure and held their breath. At first, there was no big reunion.

Mom ignored the baby. She even turned away from the baby at first.
Fortunately, something finally clicked. Min-Min suddenly establishes the connection and approaches and grabs her little bundle of joy.

She then carries the baby to a corner where she starts by cuddling and loving him, creating a bond between the mother and the baby for good.
