Clingy Breastfed Baby!!

Just give it time, soon enough, you will be the one feeling left out, children love thier daddies, there is just something about it, especially when they don't get to see them much. As she get's older she will become more responsive to her father, and soon she will only want HIM. It's a fact of life, we spend so much time with our children, and become the disciplinarians in thier lives, and when daddy comes home, it's like play time for our little ones. I always feel like my sons think daddy is the "fun" one! But I'm okay with that, because when they get an owie, I will be the one who can make it feel better.. and I like that. If you are really worried about it, Have your hubby spend some one-on-one time with her.. but in order for that to be succesful, you need to be out of sight, and stay that way. DON'T interrupt, or interject. So what if he puts the diaper on backwards, or misses a button on the onesie, she'll be fine. ALso, my little guy wouldn't take a bottle if I was around.. anywhere.. we finally got him to take one, because I went and took a LONG BATH, By myself, and the hubby finally got him to take it.. if they can see you, hear you or smell you.. they won't take the bottle.. so try that, and hey it'll give you some alone time.. which you problably need. Good luck to you and your family!

Same circumstances here...I stay home during the day and my husband works. My daughter is now 9 months old and once daddy walks in the door she could care less about me. This started about 3 weeks ago...

She will grow out of it, justmake daddy's homecoming a big deal and suddenly, he will be her favourite person. My you ngest grandchild waslike that, only wanting mommy, but once we all made a big deal of daddy getting home, she started ryingto seewhatthe fuss was all about, and if daddy is the one to play with her, and tickle her, it will be even sooner that she wantsdaddy

Don't give up... Daddy needs to learn his own special ways of soothing the baby. Sure, only mom can nurse, but daddy can rock, sing, dance, cuddle, etc. I'm about to be a new mother as well, and one thing my husband and I talked about is making him in charge of bath time. I hear some babies love to be taken into the bath with you, and almost all babies love to lay on Daddy's strong hairy chest! Or on weekends, you can nurse and then send the two of them out for a walk together... I think Dad and baby just need their own time to bond... you need it too, so you can get a break every now and then!
