So, a good friend of mine has a daughter exactly 9 months younger than me. She lives in another state and so we primarily communicate via email at least a few times a week.
After he daughter was born, I sent her some very nice gifts, things I found really helpful and she made it a point to tell me that didn't use them.
I send pictures to her and never receive a "hey your daughter looks cute, what a great smile" or anything like that. I thought I was being paranoid, so I stopped mentioning my daughter and sending pictures of her. I also made it a point to talk about her daughter. Thinking that eventually she would say something... Not once in the past 2 months has she mentioned or asked about my daughter.
I would also like to add that I make it a point not to "brag" about my daughter to anyone else with kids because I hate it when people do that.
Is it possible she is so wrapped up in her own child, she doesn't even think about mine? What should I do?

She doesn't sound like much of a friend to me. However, if you feel you are misinterpreting her actions and/or you value her friendship then consider having a talk with her about your concerns. I couldn’t imagine having a friend that doesn’t have an interest in the well being of myself and/or family.

If she made it a point to tell you she didn't use the gifts you sent her, then why are you still her friend? Its sounds to me like she's not a very good one.

I would flat out ask her what the deal is and tell her that you are hurt by her attitude. She doesn't sound like much of a friend.

I agree, honesty should be the cornerstone of any good friendship. You should ask her what her problem is.
