I just got rejected...

by my 3 month old! Every single night of her life I have been the one to put her to sleep. I think DH has done it once. I am the one that can get her to calm down no matter what. Tonight, I fed her, played with her, got her changed in her jammies and sat down to read a book with her. She started fussing and then all out screaming. DH came in and played his belly drums (yes, he plays the drums on his belly and it makes her stop crying in seconds) but that wasn't working. I asked him to hold her so I could wash my hands to check for teeth. The second I handed her over to him, she stopped crying. I checked, no teeth. So I took her to swaddle her up and put her to bed. As soon as I took her, she started screaming again! Sad

We traded her off a couple of times and each time I had her, she cried, each time I handed her back, she stopped. So he rocked her to sleep and tucked her into bed. And I sat on the couch feeling sad that I wasn't putting my baby to bed and that she wanted nothing to do with me! Crying Silly, I know. I should be happy that she is bonding with DH and he gets to experience that fun stuff too, like snuggles before bed, but it still makes me sad!  Am I totally crazy?!

    I cried the day I put L into the swing to go pee and came back to find him passed out. I had nursed him to sleep every single time before then. You're not crazy... It's pretty cool when they need you for everything and other people being able to is the first sign of that fading :'-(

    well, I feel a little better. She woke up after a while and was hungry so I'm feeding her now. We'll see if she goes back down for me when she's done!

    my what to expect book says sometimes a person switch is what they need to calm down. not personal but they can pick up on moms anxiety.

    My brain knows this, but it wasn't talking to my heart last night. I think they had a fight.
