Babies: 3 - 6 Months

my baby won't go to my DH or anyone else

I don't know what to do I'm completely burnt out, my LO has suddenly decided she wants NOBODY except for me- she screams when my DH tries to help out and hold her or feed her a supplimental bottle.  I BF about 90% of the time and she has become extremely attached.  Worst of all, my 3yr old is starting to act up because he is getting barely anytime with me, and now he's actually expressing his feelings and saying "I want mommy time"  this is breaking my heart- do I just let LO cry it out with my DH?  She gets so worked up she's almost choking so then I have to step in and take her.

  • DD went through that starting at 3 months-ish till about 3 1/2 months.  I think it's normal and might go with a growth spurt.  I would hand her to DH and make sure you're there to soothe her.  DD would work herself up too but she would calm in a few minutes.

  • My DD went through something similar starting around 3 months of age.  I couldn't leave her with anyone because she had a screaming fit when she realized I wasn't around.  She is getting better.  She sat in Santa's lap today w/o crying!
