This happened to me, but later. When my first child was born, I didn’t think she was particularly cute, but I took care of her and was kind to her because of my parental duty. Then when she was three months old, she smiled at me the first time, and I got chills down my back, and knew I loved her, and she loved me, and she was the most important thing in the world. I’ve since described the sensation as “my cerebrospinal fluid filled with love.”

So it doesn’t have to happen at birth.
