I believe that this mother was anxious about her newborn child like all other women are.She certainly loves her child but is not able yet to cope with its behaviour.Plath uses fine images in order to show as this love.

I don't think in Lady Lazarus she actually thought of herself like that because if you read it closely it's written with a very ironic tone and she is mocking "Herr [Mr.] Doktor".
I quite liked the poem, it began with the word love and ended with the feeling of love.

In my opinion the poet is looking at the arrival of her baby on a different level. That of what happens to a room, house or person when a new object appears. I don't think this poem is necessarily about Platt's emotions toward the child but more about the presence of the child itself. I think she removes herself emotionally on purpose to simply observe the changes in the household. Like how a wall or house might view the arrival of the baby.
