The brain is very good at recognising babies and making you like them, especially if it considers them yours. An important part of pregnancy and giving birth is that the mother's brain produces hormones that make her attached to the kid. That's to make sure she doesn't just abandon the little shit the second it starts being annoying. This also includes the father, if he's involved with the process, albeit probably to a slightly lesser degree because it's by proxy. To them, that kid isn't "new" but, as it were, has been around for several months already.
That's why you're coming across as absurdly weird saying that parents can't have formed an emotional attachment with their newborn.
Edit: I said "she" for mothers and "he" for fathers but any pronouns apply of course.
