The problem is that Bella doesn't do much outside of holding Renesmee.

She can't feed her, she doesn't play with her, she gives most of her duties to Rosalie and Jacob, only interacting with Renesmee when she wants to hold her.

I think it was mentioned that she or Renesmee read, one of them was reading to the other, but there's nothing more.

We don't get to see Bella enjoying being a new mother because all of the things she should have been doing, (Dressing Renesmee up, taking pictures with her, playing with her, etc) was give to Jacob and Rosalie, which makes it seem like Rosalie and Jacob are taking all of Renesmee's time, when in reality, Bella just isn't connecting with her daughter, which isn't Rosalie's fault or Jacob's, it's just a fact that Bella isn't seen enough just doing family things with Renesmee for her to feel like Renesmee's mother.

I feel like that came out wrong. I have no doubt that Bella loves Renesmee, but I think the book was so caught up on being a vampire, Edward, and then the Volturi, that building a realtionship for Renesmee and Bella fell flat.

Which is where it seems like Rosalie is trying to take Renesmee from Bella, but I don't think that's the case either.

I think Rosalie was just more caught up on finally getting to be around a child that she spent a lot of time with Renesmee, which is mentioned by Bella, who was always with Edward or doing something else.
